More than satisfied .. 1

with this small compact camera. So far I have always to get a EOS 500 dragged to good images at mountain bike tours and for that reason I have decided to use the small Lumix TZ61. The fast hand and ready and always surprises me with a very good pictures, especially with all the opportunities that are offered. The Panorama function and the backlight function are excellent. Most surprised me the video function and the quality of video because otherwise I am working with a Sony HDR FX 7. The many options can confuse even one at the beginning but if you take the hang then you can also achieve great results. Also noteworthy is the close-up shoot (see here: [...] and, of course, the 30x zoom with which you can work very well who puts value on natural images into professional quality should be oriented differently, it speaks for itself, since.. I have this camera, the EOS is the closet and is only rarely used.

My recommendation: Anyone looking for a small and very versatile travel camera is very well served with the Lumix TZ61.
