I am deciding on which one to get. amazon.com and other rating websites have a lot of really good ratings on all 3. Some with less ratings, but mostly good ones. I can't decide. I have met fans at concerts with the 10x camera and I have seen pictures online that they have taken of the bands with it as well. This camera has been on my "wanted list" for a while now. The pictures come out great. I wish I can remember which model tz3, tz4, or tz5. I know it was like 2006 or 2007 when I met fans with this camera. This is the only camera I know of that takes good concert pictures and I know that is if the settings are set up correctly and such. I have one fan friend of some bands who uses the camera and loves it. She takes it at concerts all the time and without a flash, turns out great. I have not heard from her in a long while, so I don't remember which model she says she uses. She is also a graphic designer (I am a major in it right now), so she knows cameras pretty well and I do too.
My current camera hates wanting to take pictures indoors, especially in low light. I have a kodak camera 10x and it sucks because it cannot take night pictures very good at all (comes out dark..flash sucks), the non-flash takes blury pictures unless there is a lot of light and still does (has to be on something stable to come out good), the shutter speed is horrible (like 2-5 second delays for both picture and video..focus is bad..even if I use ASM settings), etc. Its also big and fat like a square (both widthe and height) and does not fit into my purse.
Oh and yes I do know about the video quality of the tz cameras. I don't care about that because I can use my kodak to take video anytime. I am thinking that my friend has the tz4 model. I know it was for sure before the tz5 came out. All I remember is that I did not have a job at the time and that everytime I went to a store that has cameras, I would always take pictures with it there of stuff to test it all the time. amazing, amazing pictures..just like the non-flash pictures my friend takes at concerts all the time and other fans I have met at shows who use the camera. good quality pictures at concerts in low light and with no flash on.
