Photographyblog reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ5 and writes;
“We liked the pictures that we got from the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ5. They’re sharp, colourful and well exposed. Obviously, we have a natural talent for photography but the camera helped a lot as well. We did notice a limitation on the dynamic range but you can’t have everything. In these circumstances, the camera rightly prioritises the highlights.”

CNET reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ5 and writes;
“The fact that Panasonic has managed to keep the price down below £200 is good news — particularly as image quality remained consistently good throughout my tests.”

“We also got a quick demo of the wireless transfer function. Plug your camera into the wall charger, and it’ll automatically load your photos onto your computer. It was a smooth process in our booth demo, up and running in about 10 seconds.”

Ephotozine reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ5 and writes;
“The lens performs well at both wide and telephoto settings with better than expected detail from such a small camera. The Leica branded lens appears to do a good job with the only complaint being some purple fringing showing in the photo of the trees above. Macro performance is reasonable with the camera letting you focus on subjects that are roughly 5cm from the front of the lens.”

Digitalcamera-hq reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ5 and writes;
“Although we had high hopes that the SZ5 would surprise in the image quality department, the sample photos aren’t very impressive. Colors are really quite good, but images throughout the ISO exhibit obvious signs of noise and noise reduction. If you only view your photos on Facebook you may be happy,..”

Good camera with awesome WiFi.
“The camera also takes good still pictures, and because of its small, easily pocketable size, it has been very useful to take along when I go out just in case an unexpected photo opportunity arises. The SZ5 doesn’t have a mode dial or touch screen, but none-the-less, is quite useable.” – By alan

Great camera
“When considering the main point of a camera is to take photos, I’d say this camera takes very good P&S-quality photos. It’d be 5 stars if the WiFi support was better. My beefs: Slow transfer. Limited number of services to transfer to.” – By CG

Pretty cool little camera
“I wanted something that would easily fit in my pocket, take excellent quality pics, and be inexpensive. I got all that and more. I’m amazed at how much cameras have improved in the last decade (that’s how long I had my last one).” – By DWheels
