DPReview: “If you are looking for a travel or walkaround camera that is quick enough for the occasional spontaneous street shot and can also produce great quality HD video you should definitely have a closer look at the TZ5. If low light photography or indoor social snapping is more your thing or if you’re into ‘pixel-peeping’ you might want to look out for alternatives.”
PopPhoto: “It is a point and shoot in the truest sense of the word — but a point and shoot that usually delivers images that will satisfy even discerning photographers who want to travel light. Throw in 720p HD video capture with full optical zoom during capture, one of the highest resolution LCDs in a pocketable camera and it gets even better.”
CameraLabs: “The Lumix TZ5 also inherits its optical quality which considering the physical constraints, is remarkably good. Geometric distortion and light fall-off are kept to a respectable minimum, while coloured fringing is virtually non-existent across the entire focal range. The overall contrast may fall-off as you zoom-in, but this is par for the course with many super-zooms and easily corrected in software afterwards.”

PhotographyBLOG: “The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is a marginally better camera than the TZ3, with improved image quality, an excellent LCD screen, useful Intelligent Auto mode for beginners, and the attraction of HD video.”

DCRP: “It has a few downsides, including above average noise, a slow lens, and sluggish low light focusing. Despite a few flaws, the TZ5 is a great camera, and one which I can highly recommend.”
CNET: “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.”
Photoxels: “The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is the one camera you won’t want to leave home without. Relatively light and compact for a 10x ultra zoom, you’ll never need to miss a picture opportunity again with this easy-to-use point-and-shoot digital camera.”
