Photo samples: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5

The TZ5's noise profile is a bit hard to pin down. On one hand, there's noise at all ISOs that obscures detail; even at ISO 100, you can't read the text in the book, and the smaller numbers on the tape measure are fuzzy. More typically, at ISO 400 you can start to see the aggressive blur kick in, which is common in snapshot cameras. Read full review

Overall, the TZ5 rendered very nice colors, just this side of oversaturated, but still subtly distinguishable (note the different shades of yellow) and relatively accurate. Read full review

For a relatively wide angle (28mm-equivalent), 10x zoom lens, the TZ5 exhibits minimal distortion. However, it's not typical symmetical barrel distortion, so there's a bit of a funhouse-mirror sensation looking at a photo like this; it looks askew, or shot from a low angle. Read full review

Also a testament to the quality of the TZ5's lens, there's very little fringing, except on high-contrast, blown-out edges on the sides of the frame, which is quite common. Read full review

This was shot into a dark restaurant from the sidewalk using Panasonic's Intelligent Auto mode, which does automatic scene detection to set a variety of shooting parameters (in this case, it chose ISO 640, f4.4, 1/30 sec). You can see the smeariness resulting from the high ISO setting, but overall the shot was still quite usable, because it's not that detailed. Read full review

REVIEW

Meet the drop-resistant Moto Z2 Force

The Moto Z2 Force is really thin, with a fast processor and great battery life. It can survive drops without shattering.
