    Kundenrezensionen:

    Als ehemaliger Spiegelreflex-Hobbyfotograf war ich auf der Suche nach einer kompakten Kamera,mit der man unkompliziert gute Bilder schießen konnte. Die FZ18 erfüllte diesen Wunsch.Eigentlich fehlte mir noch etwas mehr Reserve in der Bildauflösung und weil Makroaufnahmen mein ...

  • Hi, I enjoyed your review of this camera. I was impressed by your clear descriptions and the pace of the video. I want to buy one of these cameras but I notice there is now a TZ20. Do you plan to do a review of that model?

  • @philipsudron I did my TZ20 review about 9 months ago at cameralabs . com! All my reviews are there, not here!

  • Thank you so much!! I am thinking of getting this one or the Casio s95. I have 4 young boys that won't stay still, and I read this one is faster but the casio has a larger image sensor (clearer pictures). Which one would be best??

  • @TheeTrinityCreation Do you mean the Canon S95? That one does have a slightly bugger sensor, a little better quality and control, but the ultimate camera for parents in my opinion at the moment is the Nikon J1 - see my Nikon V1 review at cameralabs . com which covers both models.

  • @cameralabs Thanks for your reply!! Canon S95 is correct. The Nikon is a beautiful looking camera buy I can't affor that. :(

  • Excellent review, thank you

  • Fantastic review. Very informative. Thanks

  • Great review thanks! This is how all camera reviews should be!

  • but how can u transfer GPS data on your laptop. I want all my pictures to display time , date and location, it does on the camera but not on my laptop. thanks

  • @Bondgirl2312 The time, date and co-ordinates are stored in the file and can be read by certain programs. You won't get the placenames which are shown on the camera, but you will be able to plot the position on a map.

  • @cameralabs what programs would u recommend,  cheers

  • @Bondgirl2312 I'd have a play with Google Earth first, try googling 'how to enter GPS co-ordinates on Google Earth' or 'placing GPS images on maps'...

  • @cameralabs  thanks

  • @cameralabs -photoshop and lightroom can show all that info.

  • thanks, best video review i've ever watched

  • @itaist Cheers! You're very welcome!

  • What's the difference between this and the TZ7/ZS3?

  • @AndySan Go to the verdict page of my TZ10 / ZS7 review via the link below the video, I've compared them in detail there!

  • @cameralabs - Thanks!!

  • Heres an very good example video of the quality!

    Hier ein gute Beispielvideo für die Qualität!

  • Nice review:)

  • Thanks for the great review. I'm a little surprised that so much of the video is about the GPS and only a few seconds on the manual controls. I've been shooting for years and a GPS is the last thing I'd ever want or need in a camera. I always know where I am. However, manual controls on a pocket camera are quite revolutionary and this is of great importance. I guess I'll go to your site to learn more about that. Thanks again though.

  • @mittsdad Hi pete, as you've hopefully dfiscovered by now, these videos are just brief tasters. The main info is in my written reviews at cameralabs . com - there's a direct link to the review under the video.

  • I have this camera, thumbs up if you have too :)

  • I WENT ON THE SHOTOVER JET BOAT!!! WOO

  • I wish he'd say which, out of the 4 at the end of the video, was best all-round.

  • Just to echo some of the other comments, this has to be the most detailed and informative review I have ever seen. Excellent job! I will certainly have to check out your website and see your other reviews. Thanks very much!

  • Can you turn off the stabilisation or fix the jurkiness somehow? I'm trying to justify upgrading from my TZ7 but its obvious as you've stated that the TZ10 has an issue with stabilisation when zooming on video mode.

  • I'd much rather the video from the TZ7. I'd rather have a slight blur for a second rather than a jurky video.

  • Would you guys recommend this camera over the S95 or not? i want something with allot of manual controlls when i want to take more 'arty' pictures so i need something with the choice to have everything controlled but i still want it to be able to have all the auto functions that a camera should have

  • What should i take between the Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ10 and Sony CyberShot DSC-HX5V ??

  • WHY IS THIS AT MY HISTORY I HAVE NEVER WATCHED THIS!!?? :O

  • terrific review.

  • which one would u recommend more this one or the canon SX210 IS or the Sony HX5.

    which one is faster ??! I mean in sports mode ??!

    appreciate it if u would help

  • .i'm now looking for a new camera & was thinking about the Olympus SZ-30MR Digital Camera but i'm unsure what to do because this camera looks so good as well ......... .great review mate!!

  • Gordon, I've purchased 3 cameras based on your reviews. You are allways spot on ,and for me you give the best video and text reviews of many I've consulted.

    Kudos and many thanks .Brilliant Job.

  • This is a fantastic review. What are your views on the Samsung WB650 over the TZ10? The specs are quite close…

  • @11FSE11 I had both and the Panasonic kicks its ass. I'll wont be buying anything Samsung for a while again.

  • Hi Gordon. I have this camera but can't seem to get the videos transferred onto my laptop. I've tried connecting it to both my mac and toshiba by USB and SD card but no video files show up. What can I do?

  • What type of file do you convert the AVCHD video files into? I have been converting mine using iSkysoft video converting and converting the file into .mp4 HD files but am unimpressed with most of the videos looking pixelated. Does anyone know what the ideal file format would be to get the best quality videos? Thanks this has been bothering me since I purchased the camera.

  • which memory cards does it take, i couldnt hear you properly on the review?

    thanks :)

  • Should i buy this camera? I want to make so very nice nature, animal, plant pictures. i never bought a camera before

  • Lovely Queenstown... great place for cameras!

  • top competitor of canon sx200 is

  • Comment removed

  • why say that tz10/Zs7?? Pliz help me, i want buy this camera but tz10 not sell anymore, and is the same Function and specification of zs7??? Thanks a lot for ur reviews helps so much

  • I got a question: What is the best camera for filming in small rooms?

    Like when you want to get everything on the picture at close ranges...like a lot of people in a small room, etc

    I dont care about price or the size of the camera

  • DMC-ZS10K please

  • Comment removed

  • Nikon SH1000 ???

  • can it shoot in 60fps?

  • does the power ois work even if your not zoomed in?

  • hi, nice review!. I wonder what would happen if you accidentally pushed the "ON" button while its still in your pocket.

  • Comment removed

  • I've had my TZ10 for about half a year now. I'm blown away with how well it can zoom. If you want to take really professional shots, do not use the auto function. You need to learn what ISO does, how to control aperature and exposure manually and you will be amazed at how superior and lush the results are as opposed to keeping it on auto.

  • Nice one sir! I am just about to buy an camera, its quite hard to decide...js

  • Nice one sir!

  • Hebe

    LOVE? (官方動畫版)

  • I GOT THE ZS7 BUT I STILL WANNA KNOW WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TZ10 AND MINE :s PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME!!

  • @margebaggins there isnt one

  • @margebaggins calm down, lol, zs7 = us, tz10 =  uk... i think.

  • How did you get it to record 1080p ?? I can not find it on my panasonic lumix tz 10 ??

  • @nick8cilinder he didnt

  • @ernestryles I,am so stupid :$

    He recorded this vid with anathor cam and that cam does have 1080p HD

  • Excellent comprehensive review as always. I have two questions: I read in another review that TZ10's image quality is very ordinary and with GPS on (which is automatically even when the camera is switched off) is very low. What is your opinion? (or rather anyone who have used this camera).

  • I have watched your TZ7 review and when comparing these two in video mode the sound is much better on the TZ7! The video quality also looks better with more colours and not as washed out as the TZ10... Is this so or is it something else that plays in?

  • what camera did you use to record at 1:55 ?

  • Bought the TZ10 today, and i found this vid excellent, really helped me understand the functionality of the camera, Thanks.

  • Does anyone know about the battery life from experience? is it good? thx.

  • Great review!

  • Hey there! :) Is there any camera like the TZ10 without those blue lights @ 06:05 for example? I need one with great zoom which takes also clear pics and videos at low light. Thanks.

  • Really good review, well done.

  • Thx!

  • hi is this cam compatible with Mac in terms of importing HD vids?

  • Excellent review... I am looking into getting one of these and between your website and this video you have answered all the questions that I had.

    Many thanks for your contribution...

  • Hello. I am sorry if this question has been asked, but you see... I bough this camera for a mix of things, but one of the main important reason was so I could record some clips.

    The problem is though, just 3 minutes of clips is taking 260mb. I want to send these clips to friend, but being that big, there is no way I can send them without it taking a long time.

    How can I get it to not take up so much mb but instead be smaller so I can send it to friends and family?

    Thank you!

  • Thanks for you video i have Panasonic ZS3 what software do you use to edit the video. it looks much clearer than my video. when i put the video in to iMovie and watch it, and it didn't look good are your. please help thanks in advanced.

  • I am looking to buy the TZ10, nice review thanks.

  • Very informative review! I like it. :)

    Have you got an indication on how long you can actually take videos with one battery charge? Because the best quality would be no good to me if I had to change the battery every 15 minutes while filming. Thanks. =)

  • I always love your reviews! IT's the second camera that I buy watching your suggestions.. Thank you..

  • I just realised your from NZ!! To my kiwi neighbours what is the name of the place, on what looks like a mountain, from where he is filming?

  • @4funky1 I live in NZ, but I'm from the UK. The videos are based around Queenstown...

  • @cameralabs ive been there, its beautiful

  • @cameralabs HI, I have a question about the video. Do you think the camera still uses optical stabilisation in video mode or does it only do the digital stabilisation?

    Is it possible to turn off digital stabilisation in video mode, that really looked terrible when you were panning & the picture was jerking the way it was.

  • This is a good camera. I have the previous version (TZ7) and I know two people who bought the TZ10 after seeing my camera. It got me more interested in photography and I ended getting an DSLR.

  • @4funky1 hey between TZ7 and TZ10, which one do u prefer??

  • @nazbilah From what I have seen there is not much difference in quality between them. Though according a PCWorld review the TZ7 has sharper images. The bonus of TZ10 is that you get manual controls for shutter and aperture. The thing is I also have a DSLR so I dont really need the manual controls, all I need is a point and shoot out of this camera. Therefore the TZ7 suits my needs better. I dont really care much for the GPS feature on the TZ10.

  • Recommend that Panasonic give a reference to this video .It will save many painful hours with their manual .

  • Ive recently bought this camera , can you give me example of what setting to use for best results videoing in low light ,indoors? is it true that any movies done on AVCHDlite cannot be played on DVD players? Appreciate any help with these questions.

  • I would have liked to see some macro settings and close-up shots

  • This is the best review there is for this camera!!! I was trying to buy a cam for my sister, and my research brought me to the Canon 210 and this, and i had already planned to buy this one due to its superior image and vid quality. After this review, i for sure know i've made the right decision!!! Thanx :)

  • Why all of these god damn discovery history adverts *Ragequit*!!!

  • Another fantastic review. I am currently looking for a new camera and I cannot decide between the Canon SX210 IS or the Panasonic TZ8.

    Which is your opinion is the better camera for still shooting (video recording is far from a priority for me, hence the TZ8 over the TZ10)?

  • im getting this and you made me want it even more thanks gordon love the reviews.

    Question who do you think makes the best cameras all around

  • Is the HD good? 

  • How many GB can I use to film 3 hours in HD mode?

    Hope you answer soon.. because I really want to know.

  • That has to be one of the most thorough and informative reviews I have ever seen. Well done.

  • @muzzmackay yoiu're welcome! Don't forget to check my full reviews at cameralabs . com - this is juts the tip of the iceberg!

  • @muzzmackay I agree with you. I think this review is great. I have seen another review of his. Every time I see this guy I get excited because he always makes a good review.

  • Why can't they put this zoom in the LX5!?!?

  • Thanks a lot for this review. Are your going to do the same with the Sony WX5 ?

    The TZ10 video samples on the web seem much better than the WX5 ones... :-/

  • that boat ride looks sick

  • The best and most comprehensive review I have come across on the TZ10. Thanks!

  • By the way (for my second question below), I'm in America.

  • 2 questions. First of all, if you use the GPS feature on a picture and then upload it to the computer, what happens? Can you still see the location and if so, can you get rid of it later if you want? Second of all, what's the best way to get at least 50 mins. of video? Should I buy a really really big memory card? Thanks.

  • Hi, does this camera have auto audio recording level adjust during video to avoid clipping (distortion) in loud settings such as at clubs and live concerts? My SD1100 has it but S90 does not and still not sure about S95... so I was also wondering for this camera. It could make or break a video hence a very important feature for me. I enjoyed your review, thanks!

  • Why do they all start to make make cameras exclusively with built-in batteries just like all the MP3 players nowadays. I find this really frustrating. I want a camera (and an MP3 player) with an AA battery so I can use it as long as I want. It's much easier to buy another pair of AA batteries in a nearby shop or to buy an additional pair of rechargeable AA batteries than to go home and recharge the camera.

  • @Isoik I agree!!

  • @mileycyruslvr101 Luckily for us the best photo camera brand still makes them: Canon

  • @Isoik YEH! I agree! I'm thinking to buy a digital camera... the only camera i like with AA batteries is Canon Powershot SX20 IS but it is big... i want a good camera with AA batteries!!

  • @arnaud92pt There's also the smaller Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

  • @Isoik It's probably because of the size. I also thought the newer batteries last longer than regular AAs?

  • @kockgunner That depends on the brand and amount of mAh. Sanyo (Eneloop) batteries for example are ideal for digital cameras. You can do a long time with two pairs of Eneloops. There are also other brands worth mentioning, such as Energizer 2500mAh etc. which if I'm not mistakes are Sanyo batteries but under their own brand. Note that Eneloops are rechargeable batteries.

  • @Isoik erm.. size maybe? lol

  • @Isoik I know, I hate it when I go to a concert and I intend to film certain songs, but I cant because the battery runs out. If it ran on AA's, then I could just put a new pair in.

  • gordon you are a legend!!!! many thanks!!! :D

  • what camcorder video-camera are you using to film the intro, with you talking?

  • TQ Gordon, I am fully in appreciation mode resulting from yr great & concise 15mins-plus review . I may soon consider this model, as upgrade on my Lumix FX 07 which I 1st started my Lumix experience in 2007. I have since this Spring, bought the Samsung WB650 with GPS but discovered, no HD value and VERY upsetting and poor support on their geo-tagging as well as uploads for the gps download software.

    This review caption did indeed brought great memories we spent in NZ (north & south islands).

  • nice !!!

  • hey, does anyone know if/when there will be a next generation of the panasonic lumix dmc tz10???

    thank you very much!!!

  • I recorded a video in Motion JPEG, HD. 4:17 minutes took up 982 mb, is that normal? Also when I play the movie right off my memory card on my PC, it's decent quality but it def. does not look 1080p or 720p, the writing on the pictures on my wall is kinda blurry from 7 feet away, also I am using two different cards, both are doing this, Scandisk Ultra II HD, and a PNY-HD Optima, both SDHC cards. Do I need to install the software it came with to get the 1080p quality?

  • @311Vision It doesn't do 1080p. Please see the video section in my review at cameralabs . com to find out all the details and settings.

  • @311Vision To get the best use 16:9 mode and yes install the software it helps with mp4 processing my TZ5 at 9.1 mp uses around 990mb for 7 minutes of 720P video, to get the most of the camera you need a class 10 card

  • Hmm im deciding between tz10 and the new ixus hs 1000... which can take better photos under concert settings or nite?

  • Thanks for a very detailed review. Seen your website where you essentially tie for first place the TZ10 and the Sony HX5. As I'm trying to decide between the two essentially on picture quality (colors & detail) which of the two would you recommend? Many thanks from Italy!

  • I want a digital camera for concerts, so this one is the best? or there is another model of panasonic or another brand that can beat this one?

  • how do I save my videos from my tz10 to computer as they show up as pics?

  • @longjevity1 ~~~ That was my experience too with XP but after trying it out on another lappy that is W7, it detects by default and you will see both options available. :))

    Check out my recent concert captions {Santana Concert 2010 @ Arnhem, NL, appox. 2 hrs viewing A thru N} taken with a Samsung WB650 despite having a HD vid camera on hand from a Sanyo Xacti CG10.

  • if you have a 8 GB card, how many photos can you have in your camera more or less? thank you

  • I bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 a mere 7 days ago. It's taken no more than 100 photo's and the zoom has locked in the extended position, the monitor doesn't work and there is a clicking noise audible when it is powered up. It has been kept in a bespoke Lumix case, hasn't been subject to any knocks, moisture or excesses of temperature. All in all, HUGELY disappointing, especially as I now have no means by which to record the rest of my holiday.

  • Thanks a lot for the review. It was very helpful and cause of this I bought this camera. Ask a cut from Panasonic :-)))

  • excellent detailed review. one thing I wish would be included in more reviews was how the cameras microphone records in situations with loud music. most audio recording becomes distorted at high volume, but some have limiters which normalize the levels. anyhow, thanks!

  • any rumors when tz11 will be out?

  • I am confused whats the highest definition setting for video on this camera ?

  • @EBTerriers AVCHD. I've got the TZ7. The videos are amazing. If you go to a concert, the camera records AMAZING footage. No clipping.

  • @KevinKevKev2 i have just bought the TZ-10 ...great camera...just getting confused on what video setting is the highest quality..is it AVCHD ??

  • @KevinKevKev2 hello, how is the audio quality on a concert? i want to but this camera ro record one? do you like the videos? isnt the video lagging or something please reply asap,

  • I 'm going to Iceland in one month,and i hopefully see the northern light.I've read the answer you gave to the user Tigersteve1 and i'm very interested.My english is quite bad so i need some tome to understand somethings.

    So,i have a PAnasonic camcorder TM700 and a compact camera Sony DSC-HX5V and i will bring a tripod with.But noone of those s a DSLR.Does it mean a reflex device (Camera or camcorder? with interchangable lens? If so do you think not even the TM700 will be ok for the aurora????

  • I am going to Norway next year to hopefully see the Northern Lights would this be a suitable camera to use?

  • @tigersteve1 No, you'll really need a DSLR to successfully capture the northern lights. BTW, I recommend heading up to Tromsoe and using Kjetil Skogli as a guide.

  • Perfect review ... very helpful ... well done :)

  • gordon you're doing an excellent review, can you do a review about the panasonic fz100, i have this camera. i just want to know more about this camera. thank you..

  • @comjuka yuo have the fz100 thats awsome!!! take some videos and upload them i want to see how the 1080p performs!!! thanks and have fun with that wonderfull camera!

  • I boughty this camra after seeing this video thanks for all the hard work .

    Love and peace erik

  • Video stabilization issue saved me from a BUY & RETURN, thank you. Had the same problem with the lesser priced FS7 model.

  • Hi gordan,

    Will you do a review on the Lumix G2?

  • Hello... Anyone. Will this ZS7 take class 10 SD ??

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks

  • does the Lumix DMC-TZ8 do the same jumping when recording in zoom ?

  • Hi Gordon,

    many thanks for your excellent reviews here. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. As a result me and a colleague from work here in Germany bought this camera and we are very pleased with it. Actually the same colleague visited Queenstown in March 2008 without bringing any camera along and I turned green with envy because I could not come along either....

    Keep up the good work.

  • Can someone advise which I should go for between this and the Canon Powershot SX10?

    Thanks

  • Excellent review. Thanks.

  • I got this camera today and was really excited cuz I've been researching youtube on the quality of the video and focus. I did not do an outdoor landscape test yet (will tomorrow) but I was using indoors in my house and the focus was all over the place?! the focus didn't hold when I zoomed and picture wasn't as sharp? I hope it's not defective :(

  • Thanks for the review. Is there a difference between the one which carries the Panasonic name under the flash ( less price on Amazon.com) or the one where it is written LUMIX instead of panasonic? What do you think about Amazon price ( 290$ !!! ) ? thanks for the clear talk particularly for us as nonnative English speakers. TA from Canada

  • yours reptilians eyes =o

    Thx for the review, was a good help to buy my TZ10, amazing poket-bigzoom camera, maybe the best compact of this year?

  • Comment removed

  • how do you take panoramic photo's on this camera?

  • Is it my impression or the sound recording of this camera is way inferior than the FZ38's? I hear noise, almost static..that was pretty weird

  • @dubio9 As I said in the video, I do all the image quality comparisons in my review at cameralabs . com - this video is just one small part of my whole review. Please pay attention next time.
