Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 Review

Imaging-Resource have published their review of the Panasonic Lumix LZ5 - it features a 6x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, a 2.5" screen, audio recording, and a 6 megapixel sensor. The Panasonic Lumix LZ5 is available from Amazon.co.uk for £174:

"Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LZ5 falls near the bottom of the Lumix line, providing an affordable option to snapshot photographers who want a useful selection of automatic settings in a compact camera. Its 6-megapixel resolution and optically stabilized 6x zoom lens will give those photographers lots of shooting flexibility and the ability to make large prints. Quick to start up, focus, and shoot, this Lumix is at its best when you're taking pictures of the people around you. It's less adept at action photography though, and its large LCD viewfinder turns out to be a mixed blessing."
