Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50

The feature-rich Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50 is the latest offering in Panasonic's TZ line of compact digital cameras. In addition to the ultrazoom (10x) Leica lens that characterized its predecessor, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, the TZ50 includes Wi-fi data transfer, allowing users to email their photos directly from the camera. Optical image stabilization, a broad range of preset scene modes for shooting and the ability to record video in HD round out the TZ50. The TZ line from Panasonic has been fairly popular among consumers in the point-and-shoot category for the last few years.
