The Panasonic DMC TZ6 is marketed by Panasonic as a camera that is ideal for travel and holidays. The main reason for this is that the camera lens offers both wide angle capabilities and a 12x zoom, yet the camera is still housed in a relatively small body that makes it much easier to carry the DMC TZ6 around than the larger, bulkier cameras usually associated with a camera with this specification.
Aside from the length of the lens the DMC TZ6 has image stabilisation built in and also carries a 2.7 inch LCD screen. Image stabilisation is more important on a camera with a longer lens like this one, especially when you are using lots of zoom.
Panasonic estimate that the maximum amount of photos you can take between recharges is 320. This is also a good number for anyone who is travelling and may not find it easy to get to a socket to recharge the camera easily.
