Panasonic DMC-TZ1 Show Case

Here are some close-ups of Panasonic's DMC-TZ1.

Prices of ultra-zoom cameras are not only dropping, relative to digital SLRs, but they are getting physically smaller and more functional. Take Panasonic’s 5-megapixel compact DMC-TZ1 - the world’s smallest (4.41 x 2.29 x 1.58 in) optical zoom digital still camera.The TZ1 sports the Mega O.I.S. technology and the third generation of Panasonic's Venus Engine processor. It is also the first model to incorporate a Linear autofocus system which, when combined with the high speed AF function, improves AF response time.

According to Panasonic, the compact size was achieved not through a machine that can shrink kids, but through a new lens design which combines retractable with folded-path and aspherical optical elements. At $349, this compact ultra-zoom camera proves small can be satisfying too.
