Summary: OIS...Wide Angle...Wireless...It's All an Incredible Value!
Comment: I absolutely love everything about this camera. It's my first upgrade since my two megapixel Sony MVC-CD250, but I don't get this excited about a camera without a good reason and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50S is everything I could want in a compact camera and so much more.
You get more than just 802.11 b/g wireless connectivity for your extra camera buck with this jewel! You get a few more picture formats over the non-wireless model in some of the zoom ranges and you also get twice as much internal built-in memory, too.
This camera takes beautiful pictures. The OIS (Optical Image Stabilized) Zoom is a huge deal with any camera, and this one utilizes it with two options.
Features are plentiful and quite innovative. Selective playback and delete options which utilize favorites. Picture classification by type. So much stuff works together. I even dig the musical options for the slideshow playback, too...an entertaining bonus! There are travel features and LCD viewing angle options...there are just too many features to repeat in a reasonably sized review.
I have yet to use the wireless feature, but I plan to check it out. That's not to say someone with lot's of (or any) distant, web-surfing relatives to share pictures with wouldn't benefit tremendously from this feature set. I read the wireless manual - yes, its own little bonus manual - and it totally makes sense, and I can see the value in this innovation as well.
I'm absolutely, completely pleased with the feature set, performance, versatility and everything else about this camera.
It saves photos in .jpeg format.
Oh! And the multiple-quality movie modes, including hi-def, are phenomenal. Audio is just typical, as it should be with a camera which is meant for photos.
I totally recommend the Panasonic DMC-TZ50S to anyone interested in a compact point and shoot (but so far beyond the definition) digital camera. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Summary: Difficult wi-fi connection
Comment: Camera on regular usage is excellent and pictures are very clear. Wi-fi connection is another thing. At home or at the office it takes many tries to have it connect. I had it about a month, then it constantly asks me to turn the camera off and on again and it refuses to connect.I have different ISP's at home and office. Tried it at T-mobile hot spot too same problem. I called Amazon they said it was more than 30 days so I should return to manufacturer.I called the manufacturer and was asked to send it for repairs. Its with Panasonic now and I would wait and see.

Summary: Excellent travel camera, but WiFi is of questionable value
Comment: It's hard to find fault with the TZ50 as a basic compact ultrazoom camera. The T50 offers all the performance and flexibility of the excellent TZ5, which is certainly why many consumers will find it so appealing. Sure, Panasonic could have made the TZ50 a much more useful photographic tool by including basic features like P/A/S/M modes, but the reality is that most point-and-shoot users won't miss these features. The new WiFi upload feature is sure to be attractive to many consumers looking to quickly share their vacation photos. Nevertheless, it's hard to overwhelmingly recommend the TZ50 over the TZ5.
When everything is said and done, although the TZ50 allows you to wirelessly upload your images to your Picasa web gallery the process isn't nearly as easy as it might sound. Since the TZ5 can be purchased for a full $100 less than the TZ50, I suspect most average consumers will be happier uploading images the "old fashioned way" directly from their desktop or laptop computers rather than stumbling through the clunky WiFi interface on the TZ50.
If the WiFi mode setup doesn't scare you, though, the TZ50 makes an excellent choice for anyone who wants an ultrazoom camera and wants to quickly share photos while traveling.

Summary: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50S 9.1MP
Comment: This is an outstanding camera. Muuuuuuch better than previous Panasonic models. The picture quality is great and the camera is very easy to use. A few friends of mine have the Canon and Sony models but after they saw the DMC-TZ50S they were blown away.
I'm still trying to figure out the WiFi but I guess it would help if I read the manual...

It may not fit in your pocket but the (still compact) Panasonic DMC-TZ50S is a remarkable camera that has a quality Leica lens with a 10x optical zoom. This provides a wide focal length covering wide-angle, normal, telephoto, and supertelephoto perspectives. It also has 4x digital-zoom. That's why this camera is termed a hybrid-SLR. While you can't change lenses, your focal perspective is far broader than any one SLR zoom lens. It also has built-in wireless WiFi communications function that complies with 802.11b/g standards. It provides wireless Internet connection to a T-Mobile Hotspot or home wireless LAN system without having to use a PC or cell phone. Access Google's Picasa Web Album and upload your photos right from camera.
