Image stabilization noticeably improved our test shots, and 6X optical zoom is longer than that of most compacts. Competitively priced.

Some jaggies were present in the flash shots. Dynamic range could be better. No viewfinder. Video capabilities are extremely limited.

Image stabilisation ; Large zoom range for its class ; Solid image quality ; Three burst modes ; Easy operation

Few manual settings ; No audio capabilities ; Low-res movie mode

This camera's images were almost as good as those produced by its 5-megapixel sibling. It suffered from the same cyan fringing but otherwise produced good-quality images with lots of detail in both shadows and highlights. We noticed a slightly greater...

Images a little too sharp, leading to "jaggies"; some vignetting ; Redeye ; LCD doesn't "gain up" in low light ; No optical viewfinder ; Poor low light focusing; no AF-assist lamp ; Paltry 14MB of internal memory doesn't hold many photos at highest...

I like the concept of the DMC-LZ1 and DMC-LZ2 a lot. I just wish the execution was a little better (the LZ3 and LZ4, maybe?). The two cameras earn my recommendation, but mostly for outdoor shooting. Those taking indoor and low light shots will likely...

Ease of use ; Outdoor picture quality ; Longer optical zoom ; Layout and design ; Value for money

No viewfinder ; Below average shutter lag time

If you are looking for an easy to use digital camera with a longer than standard zoom lens then the Panasonic DMC LZ1 is an ideal choice. It is relatively inexpensive and offers great value for money.

The optical 6x zoom is able to capture and magnify subjects located at a distance that cannot be captured enough by the 3x zoom of ordinary compact cameras. Normally, blurry pictures caused by hand shake is a major problem of compact cameras,...
