The Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ1 was reviewed by Cameras.co.uk where they write, 'One of the strengths of the DMC TZ1 is just how easy it is to use. Buttons and dials on the camera are kept to a minimum and the menu system is one of the most straightforward you are likely to find. The options in the menu system can be cut right down if you still find them confusing. This is achieved by switching the camera to simple mode.' ' There is a lot to like about the Panasonic DMC TZ1. With its ten times optical zoom in a compact body it offers something different. It provides plenty of zoom power whilst allowing you to carry the camera around easily. Picture quality is very good and the camera is also easy to use.
