Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 Digital Camera Reviewby Patrick SingletonPublished on January 17, 2007
PhotoBase is a more powerful choice, with better organizational tools, a slideshow function, and minor adjustment tools, including brightness, color balance and cropping. PhotoImpressions is more of an editing tool, with enhancement and painting tools. For users who aren't ambitious, the ArcSoft package is worth exploring for occasional use. People who want to get serious about photo management and editing ought to look into Photoshop, starting with Photoshop Elements. Jacks, Ports, Plugs (5.0)
The TZ1 has USB 2.0 connectivity for both storage and printing, and the same jack doubles as an analog video out port. This video output can be set to NTSC or PAL standards so video can be watched anywhere in the world. There's an input for an external DC power source, which is not included with the camera. An external power source might be useful for running slide shows. Direct Print Options (6.0)
Battery (6.25) A 3.7-volt lithium-ion battery powers the Lumix TZ1. The battery is rechargeable, and lasted a long time between charges in our tests. Panasonic's specs claim 250 shots per charge, which is fairly accurate. We find that lithium-ion batteries last longer and are more convenient than AA cells, which power some other compact cameras. This digital camera comes packaged with a wall-mount charger too. Memory (4.0) Other Features (6.25) Vacation Day – This option allows users to track which day of a vacation each snapshot was taken, which might be handy for scrap booking and slide shows. Aspect Ratio Change – The option of switching between 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 in-camera should help users avoid post-processing as well. The standard 4:3 movies can also be switched to a widescreen format.
