this should hopefully be better than the FZ7.. i've yet to see a review of this camera with the new Venus III engine... maybe panasonic should have couple the FZ7 with it.

Perhaps its coming during the march IT show?

armadillo · 26th February 2006

Hmmm according to dpreview only available in April 2006, I think only will available at store maybe around May 2006

The good think of TZ1 is very compact and powerful zoom 10x

tao · 27th February 2006

Yes, it is looking very attractive... the only pocketable ultra zoom digicam?

armadillo · 27th February 2006

Have another pocket size 10x zoom, Nikon S4, but don't have OIS, so I guess TZ1 still best choice.

Am eyeing this too. Coolpix S4 seems larger than the TZ1 though its swivel head is kinda useful. Too bad no IS though.

That's true.. TZ1 is an attractive proposition

think this will be available in March. Last year, when they announced new products for April, we could get them in SG in March liaoz.

metallilan · 28th February 2006

if you don't need the manual controls and want something more portable for everyday use and travel..the TZ1 would suffice...

cikgoo · 28th February 2006

i hope with the new models out... the LX1 would drop in price...
or do we expect to see an LX2 spring a surprise ?

Hopefully there'll be some nice bundles too. Free extra batt & free 512MB SD card perhaps?

LOL don't get your hopes up. Panasonic has this habit of sticking to retail pricing, and throwing in a bit more goodies. Buying outside 99% of the time will give you better deals than buying at the fair.

roadrunner_552 · 2nd March 2006

ya buying at com fair is not cheap, always at RP. They just throw in some freebies which u may not need it at all

LBearJuuh · 7th March 2006

This new TZ1 is cool! Shall wait for it. Maybe will sell my new FX9 I just gotten my hands on last night.

digitalbuff · 9th April 2006

TZ1 is avail in HK for HK3390, those who want to get your hands on it now:

New reviews:
Let's go digital

Can anyone confirm if it's avail in sg? I am coming back in May and hope to buy 1 instead of lugging my E-1 around.

very small and 10x zoom

...how they squeeze such zoom power into this small cam.

airconvent · 9th April 2006

i nearly went for this one after looking at the specs but then realise there is no aperture or shutter priority, so dropping this and now comparing between FZ7 and LZ1..
The LZI has a bigger CCD size, hence noise performance should be better.

The lenses are placed across inside the body loh, same as those camera that do not zoom out but have 3x optical zoom.

The camera is out. Panasonic have a roadshow in Suntec City outside Carrefour & you can see it there. RRP $699.
