Editors' Comments

The Panasonic Lumix TZ50 grafts WiFi capability and a sweet 1-year access deal onto the existing Lumix TZ5. This capable performer offers a 9.1-megapixel imaging sensor paired with a 10x optically stabilized zoom lens. The lens is wide angle, making it ideal for crowd and landscape shots. Other standout features include a high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD screen and the advanced Intelligent Auto mode, which analyzes a scene and adjusts exposure, ISO, red-eye, and face detection settings to produce the best possible shot on the fly. The TZ50's wireless capability can be used at any T-Mobile Hotspot, and allows users to upload their photos directly to Picasa web albums.

Great camera with loads of capabilities and style (Rita Brohman - 7/16/08)

This little camera is great for those who are interested in good optical zoom and high megapixel options. I rarely shoot above a 4-5 MP because I don't like the storage space and since I'm only printing 4x6 or 8x10 photos - having the 10x optical meets my requirements for clarity at distance... this camera is a great size - has great options for auto and even has an ability to upload pics to the web! The movie mode opts are better than most cameras and I'm quite happy with the new lense that Panasonic has purchased. I've always been a Nikkon person and have thought that Nikkon and Cannon have the only options for digital cameras because of their lenses... this all changes with Panasonic's new lense... I highly recommend this for folks who like high quality pics and photo ability without being a professional photographer!

Roundups featuring Panasonic Lumix TZ50

  • Best Digital Cameras with Wi-Fi / Wireless Capability

    For photographers on the go, dealing with memory cards or internal hard-drives can be a nuisance. No one wants to miss a picture-perfect moment because the camera has run out of space! Luckily, camera manufacturers have slowly started to make the leap to wireless technology. Although this new technology is limited by the availability of Wi-Fi signals, it offers another option for users who wish to streamline the uploading process.

    Review by Joseph Ben Keough

    The Panasonic TZ50 takes another stab at wireless transmission of photos over the Internet, directly from the camera. See how it fares when we test its impressive claims.
