Panasonic DMC-TZ6EG-S
Panasonic is increasingly penetrated in recent years with ingenious innovations to the camera market and is thus slightly ahead of its competitors. So it happened that I decided to purchase a Panasonic TZ-6. Since the image quality is very important to me, for me it was also a small compromise. But she seems to be the only universal camera that covers my needs. For particular image quality requirements, I have my digital SLR camera.
The Panasonic I bought for traveling, people photos, vacation photos, zoo photos snapshots and other images. It is pleasantly light, is also well situated in one hand and I was always there when I want to take pictures. The LUMIX TZ-6 is the smaller brother of the TZ-7 and has no real HD video mode, which I can be to our liking, because I rarely want to film something. For the conversion to DVD quality enough loose.
Before buying, I have even toyed with the Canon SX 200, but the TZ-6 is clearly superior because of their high-aperture Leica lens of the Canon. In addition, the extreme wide angle of 25mm is a dream and telephoto focal length of 300 mm more than impressive! To give you not only much on the photo, but can zoom in even more distant objects super close up. So that the camera is in most shooting situations more than justice.
What I liked a lot of Panasonic that they themselves, the recording format (4:3, can set 3:2, 16:9). Most photo printers in the well-known drugstore print suburban markets only in the classic 3:2 format. Other formats can be easily cut, so that image information will be lost. So I lie always correct.
With the 25 mm lens can bring you almost everything on the subject. So far I’ve had with my SLR (28 mm lens) always issues the Cologne Cathedral from the long side to get a complete picture. It’s been much better.
At first I was thrilled at the camera, the 3-inch high-resolution (460,000 pixels) and sharp display. This makes the frame shots a pleasure. On sunny days, the display weakens as any other. Since only helps keep your finger on it. The operation and navigation is done via the menu easy to understand, largely self-explanatory and clear. I expect a good camera.
The image resolution is 10 megapixels more than adequate for me. More you really need not, even if the deductions are deducted for the picture frame in 20 x 30 cm or greater. Unfortunately, save for this Panasonic camera model to the image sensor, in contrast to its top model of the LX series. Must be a tiny 1 / 2, 33 generate 10-megapixel sensor. This sensor has been incorporated into Panasonic 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. megapixel cameras already. Now he must do even more. If Samsung or other manufacturers, such as 12 megapixel sensor produces images. What an unnecessary madness, at the expense of quality! This will quickly become clear when you view the pictures. At ISO 100 the images are mostly noise, but has also probably had their fingers in the game, the noise reduction. From ISO 200, it is steadily increasing. ISO 200 images I find in a 100 percent view, and while looking at fine details even slightly disturbing. ISO 400 the noise increased markedly in full size. If we can do it only 9×13, 10×15 or 13×18 prints, it does not stand out more. At magnifications of 20 x 30 cm from a short distance falls on the turbulent noise. The camera is just like many others, mostly a fair-weather camera. The fine details go through the lost-ISO noise reduction and a significant number down 400th If one is aware of this, we can live with this property. If my pictures with friends from a Fuji f 50 comparisons, which comes off much better. But then the Fuji is also fitted significantly worse. To achieve the best image result, there are many recording programs that adapt to suit your needs. Whether fireworks, night landscape, sunset, beautiful skin, or other recording situations, the camera is well prepared for almost anything.
The autofocus works quickly and accurately. Telephoto occurred so far only two times before that I needed to focus again. The lighting conditions were not optimal.
What I really miss on this camera are the manual settings, because I am used to it from my SLR am and there are few moments where the surgery but could be very useful (for long exposure night shots with a tripod, shutter priority for specific depth of field, bracketing for HDR-images, etc.). Unfortunately, this development can be found on many compact cameras, to save costs and because too few of them make use of.
