Actually, the camera should be a spike in the TZ-series range. I am disappointed by the handling. The camera can actually only two hands with "gingerly" use. Taken in the right hand, one discovers involuntary lightning with his right middle finger and partly or completely. Then you press with your thumb on one of the function buttons or the wheel next to the screen and change the settings. Since the developers have a lot of technology packed into it, but not tested in practice. Positive is the viewfinder, which allows you to aim for the subject even in direct sunlight. Unfortunately you have to settle the glasses to use it. The program-wheel on the camera adjusts itself very easily. The pictures are great for these small camera. Since there is no suspend. The 30-times zoom with anti-shake performance even still produces good pictures. With the digital zoom even get acceptable images. Unfortunately, the GPS function has partially failed. I admit a significant number of photos that contain strange GPS data, but no conclusion on the situation. Picasa finds no position. Whether this is related to not found on site data, or a program error was, I can not judge. I am in any case noticed that the time sometimes takes to calculate the data indefinitely. This is in need of improvement. My smartphone was there much faster, sometimes the data was in seconds, while the TZ 61 No satellite found. I have been staying a TZ 10 and the TC 61 a giant leap forward expected. I'm disappointed. Unfortunately. Overall, the camera for me is not recommended.
