Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

Résumé : Le Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1... Voilà un appareil surprenant ! Aussi bien dans le bon sens que dans le mauvais. Suprenant car vu sa compacité, on a du mal à imaginer qu'un zoom stabilisé 10x signé Leica se cache dans l'appareil. L'objectif ne se déploie ...

Points forts : - Compact - Zoom 10x stabilisé - Simple d'utilisation

Points faibles : - Trop de bruit ou trop de lissage selon la sensibilité - Pas de modes priorité

Résumé : Panasonic recently unveiled its new range of Lumix digital cameras - its biggest range of models to date. The company showcased 13 new models including two new TZ 'travel series' point-and-shoot cameras. We took the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 for a ...
