8. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 (Blue)
Editors' rating: 7.4
The good: Attractive, functional design; generally above-average photo quality for its class; nice, useful feature set; lens can zoom during movie capture.
The bad: Aggressive smoothing reduces detail in indoor shots, even at low ISO sensitivities; modest performance; poorly placed microphone.
The bottom line: Though it's not perfect, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5's compact midrange megazoom feature set puts it in a class with just its sibling, the TZ4, and should deliver a satisfying shooting experience.
