After my TC5 unfortunately had enjoyed an unexpected water and had it not fully recovered (the Zoom went mostly to where it was just about) I'm grateful in retrospect that I had to buy the successor model TZ 18. Yes, it is a must, because it provides for the dedicated snapshot and report photographer situation requires good pictures. The menu navigation is easier, intuition allows the beginners in iA mode may manifest more joy than a donkey by this exclamation. Advanced found in the manual best information on more accurate situation-recording technology. Only criticism: If I am not mistaken, the camera is no original battery from Panasonic! Its capacity is slightly less than that in the TZ5 model, its battery form "natural" something has apartments of various. That must in today's technology be so, otherwise you could just save resources, but who wants that?
