Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ19 Pro Reviews

The Panasonic TZ19 represents something of a bargain, only losing the GPS functionality and full 1080i HD movies of the TZ20 whilst being much nearer in price to the TZ18. The TZ19 offers a big 16x zoom, fast continuous shooting, full 1080i HD movies, a touchscreen LCD, 3D Photo Mode and fast auto-focus system, all at a similar launch price as last year's TZ10 model. The TZ19 benefits from being a Dixons store group exclusive model in the UK, retailing for a mere £229. Only the good rather than excellent image quality prevent us from recommending the TZ19 even more highly. In addition the TZ19 retains the creative A, S and M shooting modes, improved hand-holding Intelligent Auto mode, effective anti-shake system, high-resolution screen and proven handling of its predecessor. All of this together with the new headline features adds up to a very full-featured camera that's also importantly intuitive to use for both beginners and more experienced photographers alike, a particularly difficult trick to pull off.
