Not inexpensive, but SUPER !!!

The Samsung WB650 is the cheapest and has the greatest zoom (15 times), but the image quality I've read too many but then negative or quite neutral feedbacks on the Internet. Also the photos shown on the internet could not convince me then sorichtig.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V has "only" 10 megapixels and a 10x zoom, which I do not think now that bad but because you only at ISO 125 starts (the other start at ISO 80) has already bothered me.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 was then for me in the sum (megapixel / image sensor, Zoom and light intensity) in the "golden mean".

Samsung WB650: 12 MP / 2.3-inch CCD 15 times zoom (24-360 mm) F3.2 - F5,8 luminous intensity

Sony DSC-HX5V: 10 MP / 2.4 inch BSI 10x zoom (25-250 mm) F3.5 - F5.5 luminous intensity

PanasonicDMC-TZ10: 12 MP / 2.33-inch CCD 12x zoom (25-300mm) F3.3 - F4.9 luminous intensity

Have you then ordered me in the color chocolate here on Amazon and am very, very happy.
Great photos and especially also great video quality. The video quality is truly impressive for a compact camera. Still see Own a Panasonic camcorder with 3x CCD and videos
high of almost equal.

The iAutomatik (iA) you get almost 80% of all photos out super. Have set me under Programmed Auto (P) the following settings:
ISO: to max. 400 limited, Video Adjust Sharpness +1 / NOISE REDUCTION -2

So you can also get great photos in low light conditions with great colors and sharpness. If I'm not sure I take a picture with "Yes" and "P". Personal taste will decide which photo I take.

For me, this camera has become my personal "golden panacea".

Operate the camera with a Transcend 16GB Extreme Speed ​​SDHC Memory Card Class 10, which I have ordered here. Also TOP !!!

Well done to Panasonic and of course to Amazon for the usual great, fast delivery.
