Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera is remarkable in that it contains a 10x wide-angle optical zoom lens in a compact, stylish body for the ultimate in picture performance and user convenience.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera Overview
Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, Panasonic's DMC-TZ4 Lumix 8.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 15.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power.
Set the TZ4 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.
With a total of 230,000 dots, the big, bright 2.5" diagonal LCD makes viewing and shooting easier and more comfortable. The Intelligent LCD adjusts brightness automatically in 10 steps as the ambient light level changes, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors.
The Clipboard allows you to take photos of maps, timetables and other travel info. They are saved in a separate folder of the built-in memory to distinguish them from normal photos. You can print titles and other characters on the photos you shoot with the Title Edit and Stamp. This is great for creating your own postcards from a vacation trip. Input your departure date and destination with the Travel Date Setting. Later, during photo viewing, the camera will indicate on which day of the trip each shot was taken and the location.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera user reviews
"Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera is a very good quality, i have a lot of friends whos actually a profesional phothographer i brought it to them and let them analyze it and in return thought me more how to use it more to its full potential and even my friends told me i got a good one, then we went to sea world to use it the quality of the picture itself tells that we had a good time. now i always bring this camera with me wherever i go, its a small easy to use camera but its packed with good quality pictures, in a reasonable price, very good."

"The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera has a good solid feel due to its weight. Not really a pocket camera but it is comfortable to carry in a small case. Overall excellent camera!

"After reading many reviews mainly from people who cant resist comparing Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera with a 700 dollar DSLR.It is better than I was expecting.
The build quality is top notch. Good quality buttons, nice looking and still small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.
Several people gave this camera high marks but complained the indoor performance was lacking.
I am getting very good indoor results. The camera overall is very easy to use. With a little practice you should be taking nice photo's.
In movie mode this camera rivals my dedicated camcorder in most ways except in sound quality.
The sound recording with this camera is not so prominent that you hear every little sound. With my camcorder recording in stereo the sound is so prominent, that is it distracting.
I've been using a standard 2 gig SD card which seems to work good. I do think one of the faster write cards would be a good idea especially if your doing a lot of Video.
The video in highest quality mode does use some space. With a 2 gig SD card you will get about 20 minutes of video, which for me is all I've needed so far.
Bottom line I would recommend this camera. It does what Panasonic advertises it should do.
It takes great photo's and video, and seems to be a very high quality camera that should give good service.
So for the great price that Amazon is offering this camera for, I would say go for it.
I ordered this camera on Monday morning, and received it Thursday morning. Which is typical top notch service from Amazon.
One final thought, comparing this camera with the TZ5. The TZ4 is the best bang for the buck.
The TZ5 does offer a few extras, but I have a feeling you will find this camera very feature rich and probably all the camera you will need. "

""Here’s the breakdown:
Pros:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4K Digital camera takes great pictures outdoors, I love the huge LCD screen, it’s easy to use, the zoom is incredible, and people (strangers) never have problems taking my picture with it.
Cons:
Like any camera it has a hard time taking pictures in low light areas. Even well-lit indoor pictures turn out pixelly. Finding the right setting for the amount of light is difficult (too many to choose from). The video function can’t zoom in or out while filming.
All in all, I’d definitely recommend this camera to others; it’s been great for me."
