The Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ10 is aimed at anyone who is looking for some extra zoom power in a relatively small camera. Although a little large to fit into a pocket the 12x zoom lens still gives you a lot of zoom for a camera of this size. This range of cameras is often popular with people who travel. With the zoom lens also having wide angle capabilities you have a lot of flexibility at your fingertips in a camera that is easy to carry around.
With the Lumix DMC TZ10 Panasonic has further increased the options available to you by adding manual exposure settings. You have access to fully manual exposure, aperture priority and shutter priority. These give you a lot of extra control over the way your photos will look.
Another change for this season from Panasonic is the introduction of a mode they refer to as Intelligent Resolution. This further increases the amount of zoom available. Another option for increasing zoom is to decrease the number of megapixels you are shooting at. For example at 3 megapixels and below a maximum of 23.4x zoom is available to you.
GPS technology has been built into the Lumix DMC TZ10 to help you manage your photos and pinpoint where you were when they were taken. High Definition movies are also available.
