A review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 was done by Computeractive where they say 'While it may lack a certain style, the DMC-TZ1 packs a lot into its compact body – including a proper optical image stabiliser to counteract possible image blur when using the full extent of the zoom, its lens supplied by renowned photo firm Leica.' 'It suggests the DMC-TZ1 is an ideal product for those who need a big zoom but don’t want to lug around a bulkier or more expensive camera, don’t need a huge resolution and aren’t desperate to have a product that conforms to the latest slim line fashion.'
