Question: Generic battery for Panasonic TZ5? I see several listings for generic replacement batteries for the Panasonic Lumix TZ5.  However, the ones that have reviews seem to be quite dismal.  Does anyone have an inexpensive replacement battery for this camera that actually works well?  If so, I'd appreciate some advice.  Thanks.  :)
Document: And another advantage of the TZ5 over its competitor, the Canon S110, is that the TZ5 features a wide angle lens, which I appreciate (and it is more compact than the Canon).The bottom line is that I wish I'd bought the Lumix FZ28 (because of its manual controls), but the TZ5 meets most of my needs and is quite compact, which was important to me.
I now have had this camera long enough to write my opinion. I actually purchased several cameras and evaluated them using the most common features under the conditions that I usually take photos and videos. I also paid particular attention to the items other reviewers had criticized to ensure I had tested them fully. Because I'm not technically savvy, reviews written in detail never interested me. I think most people are like me...it works great or it doesn't. My overall opinion of the TZ5 is nothing short of awesome.
I talked to a Panasonic Lumix representative by phone and learned that the new software in this camera would do even more things than I had expected so I bought one. Since I had been a previous Lumix user , learning the new TZ5 camera was a snap. The new BIG 3 inch LCD is awesome and easy to see even in reduced lighting. The flash reaches out 2 or 3 times farther than my old camera. The Anti-Shake feature really works well.
I bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 as a replacement for an ageing Canon S60. Initially, I hesitated in this choice because of the lack of full manual controls, but the TZ5 lived up to the glowing reviews.The centrepiece of the camera is the wonderfully sharp Leica lens with a 28mm - 280mm span(35 mm equivalent) that covers all possible shooting situations from wide angle to telephoto.
My old 3.2 MP camera was dying so I needed a replacement. I wanted something with more than the standard 3x optical zoom, compact, and well built. The TZ5 seem to fit the bill so decided to give it a try.I had the TZ5 [blue model] for 3 weeks and snapped over 200 pictures. The camera looks good and feels well built. It is easy to hold even for those with small hands. Camera responds quickly. Menus are responsive and easy to navigate.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)This is my 2nd Lumix camera. I have used the older one Mod LC43 for several years and liked the Leica lens. I wanted some additional features so started looking at new cameras. The features that I wanted seem to only be on large size cameras and I wanted one that I could put in my pocket.
I've had this camera for about 2 weeks now. I bought it as a replacement for an older model Kodak digital camera. While not the most compact of cameras, it still is small enough to fit into a pocket and easily carry. The large view screen and 10x zoom were the most attractive features to me and they have proven invaluable. I've taken pictures in several modes including scenery, night scenery, portrait and self-portrait and all seem to be excellent. Uploading pictures to my computer is a snap.
My last camera (a relatively new Kodak easyshare) had some serious malfunctions last year so I decided to ask my parents for a new digital camera as my Christmas present. I did quite a bit of research and narrowed it down to the Panasonic TX5 and a Sony Cybershot that was about the same price and had similar functions. After reading several reviews and talking to a few "experts" at Best Buy and the like, 95% of my research recommended the Panasonic.
Pretty much the entire Panasonic Lumix line is filled with great little cameras that provide a decent 3MBps (MegaBytes). Other brands offered some competition in this area, but few could keep up with quality of pictures and video.Reading all the reviews, and I was sold on the TZ5. And after using it for a while, it has met and well exceeded my expectations.In low light, video is great.
My friend, who is a film maker by trade, was also impressed with the camera. It is bigger than I would have liked, but the trade off for a 10X zoom was worth it for me.Do get an extra battery - I went through both batteries in 4 hours of shooting, mostly stills but some video. Big hassle to run out of juice in the middle of your day. A SD Extreme III 8GB was recommended in some reviews and it worked well for me, especially with shooting video.
Answer: I bought mine from thememstore here on Amazon.  The price was about $6 for each battery (I bought 2).  The battery life is as good as the OEM - I see no difference in performance.
