We like:
Wide-angle lens; long zoom; excellent images
We don't like:
Small screen; no manual controls
CNET UK judgement:
It may not be the smallest or prettiest snapper around, but the TZ4 does the business where it counts. A wide-angle 28mm lens and 10x zoom combined with capable automatic settings give great image quality, in what is one of the friendliest and most portable superzooms around
Full review:
It may have the looks of a compact camera, but the 8-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 has the power of a superzoom in a small package. It sports a large 10x zoom lens made by Leica, with a satisfying 28mm wide angle. It's available now for around £180 online. Continue Reading...

Sound choice for casual snapshooters on a budget, but its rivals offer more features
