tz10 review

You can pick a TZ10 up for a street price of around £250 and this represents a fantastic buy.

It's a well-made, incredibly versatile compact camera with a fantastic 12x zoom, GPS tagging, manual controls and HD video.

Using the camera is a pleasant, straightforward experience and the image quality you'll get is impressive.

We liked:

The superb image quality. We also loved the zoom lens - high quality, sharp and so versatile. The inclusion of GPS tagging - a brilliant, easy-to-use feature - is a great addition. As was the fact that the TZ10 now has manual controls.

We disliked:

The fact that the camera doesn't shoot in RAW, otherwise it would have got 5 stars from us.

Verdict:

A brilliant, feature packed compact camera at a very accessible price.
