User Reviews for Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 Point & Shoot Camera

I ordered it a month back and within a week span i got it.nService from flipkart as usual **Great**.nnRegarding Camera:nI am a enthusiastic photographer (although amateur) and started to use this camera as soon i got it from flipkart.nI took this camera after a long search and brainstorming on the internet.nAlthough it was not my first choice , i wanted to buy FZ-150 from panasonic. But when i saw the camera in a local store, felt that it is somewhat bulky and we have to hang it to our neck and go.nSo, i thought of the second option TZ30.nNice camera, Yet i am exploring its manual options rather than the iA (Auto) mode.nPicture quality is really nice , although some noise at ISO 100.nZoom is excellent and i have tested it with couple of my friends while we were on a trip to hill station yesterday.nVideo quality is extraordinary (Full HD).nOptions are really nice... panorama shot and different scene modes are great.nI am yet to try the manual modes and do some hands on , but as per the reviews outside on blogs etc. it seems to be a nice pocket camera :)nI tried the camera while driving in car and took some amazing shots....nZoom is really great....nStartup time is good but i felt the time between shots is 1-1.5 secs...but yet to see.nBurst mode .... is good.nnnSome Observations:n> while shooting video it is occupying a huge size eg. 400 mb for just few minutes of video. so the shipped 4 gb card is not enough for the purpose if you are a person who is intrested to capture more pics and videos like me. So, for that i have ordered 16 gb class 10 transcend sdhc card from flipkart for ~840 rs, and believe me... it has outperformed.n> And it is a better option to have a tripod, because it would be a great accessory. I bought one from ebay for 500 rs. and it is of 4 ft. height when unfolded.nn> Have a look at reviews on different camera review sites and watch some full hd videos on youtube etc. to have a clear idea on it before buying.nn!!! Really Amazing Camera For Me !!!! , although price is somewhat high, but i purchased on flipkart at 18490 rs. , but see the reviews and make yourself convinced before buying and do not buy blindly (any camera), because most people think if it is a high megapixel camera, it is a better one.But it is not the truth.nnHappy Photography.......

Had been long looking for a GPS enabled camera. got one of these last month.nThis model is an improvement over the DMZ-20. The GPS seek time is less than before, however the sensitivity leaves much to be desired. So when indoor the camera cannot update, even near a window the camera may not be able to receive the GPS signal that a GPS enabled phone can receive.nTakes good pictures and has very good zoom. nThe pre-set scenes are very useful. The battery lasts about 160 shots with GPS is on. GPS will drain the battery if left “always on” mode.nGood build, nice grip, easy access to all buttons, lightweight and compact.

I must say this is the best camera I have used. It is point and shoot. The auto focus just works. nAt 20X zoom picture quality is poor. However, this camera gives vibrant colours for all the near shots. In the auto mode, macro shots as of crab on the seashore, moth on a stick came beautifully.nnThe first piece I got was faulty. I was very disappointed. The replacement was given quickly and after about three weeks of use, I am happy with the product.nnWonderful work Flipkart.

I was always interested in photography. I wanted a good camera to start with and I found this.nLots of SLR feature liken1.PASM modesn2.Manual metering modes.nnLove this product from Panasonic. Go for it if you are an amateur photographer with a passion to learn.

My camera was good for exactly one month. After that stopped working because of software problem and I cannot use it anymore. The camera is only 1 month old and it is ready to go to garbage because nobody can fix it! Don’t make the same mistake… Go for a Sony: Much better, cheaper and will never failure after only 1 month.
