just wanna find out if there are any users using the TZ1. How are the pics quality? :think:
eejal said:did a review in dpreview. but i'd prefer to see how our forumers here find it.
thanks for the reply... :thumbsup:
bluey_gal said:Comparing FX01 to TZ01, which is better?
Do u know the price range of TZ01?
digitalbuff said:I have one and this is my experience (i use it for casual shooting).
Likes
1) Video very good.
2) Zoom v. good.
Dislikes
1) Images without flash very noisy and WB screwy
2) With zoom on and handheld, very difficult to have clear pics.
Overall, from what i see from F30 pics posted, that might be better for someone who wants good pics but TZ1 is pretty good all round.
anglim said:My seldom go beyond 6x (equiv 200mm for 35mm camera). At this focal length, even professional will advise to use tripod or at least lean elbow to a structure to avoid shaking.
Also don't zoom indoor without flash. Slower shutter or higher ISO unlikely to give good picture. Anyone found a compatible high speed 2G SD?

ExplorerZ said:erm using any camera at long focal length is always difficult, so can't really blame TZ1.:nono:
phantasmal said:Hmmm i zoom quite a lot beyond 6x esp when i went on a Bird Park trip a mth or 2 back.
Think Tz1 did quite admirably.
I am using a Adata 2gb 150x and it works well.
anglim said:Thanks for the assuring TZ1 works perfectly at 10xzoom. Only cannot expect the same sharpess as without zoom. And perhaps, got to ensure shutter faster than 1/50, not easy to get undershade.
Can I ask using A-Data 2G SD, you got video of 30fps at 848x640 and sustained 10x zoom with 3fps picture as long as you wish? I searched the web, only Kingston officially certifies Elite Pro 1G (not the 32-bit 2G) is compatible with TZ1. Now seriously thinking of A-Data 2G from Active Photo for $85.

eh lol. bracket... don think anyone using it as permanent. :sweat:anglim said:Yes I meant continuous 848x480 at 10x zoom. Maybe I was wrong to think OIS works harder at max zoom to correct for all the shaking. Will take your advice for Elite Pro (2G or 1G?) and A-Data. Read in our manual it can accept only 16-bit SD and some 2G are 32-bit. Dunno Sandisk Ultra II can use or not. Active Foto prices irresistable for 2G SD and see any better deal in coming Comex for:
Sandisk Ultra II $65.90
Kingston Elite Pro $66.90
A-Data 150 $85.00
Once memory is 2G, can set permanent to 3-shot bracket for 2/3 tolerance. Then can choose the shot with least noisy underexpose portion. Like 3-shot machine gun - probably can't miss the best shot liao.
