This product was bought for my Granddaughter who is 15 years old and she loves it. Very easy to get started and has lots of features that keep her amused for hours!

Quality of photos on full zoom are fantastic.

great features, fantastic wide angle and zoom range

No case and expensive optional extra

Easy to use with the Inteligent Auto feature covering most situations, fantastic zoom.

Battery life is dissapointing, auto focus can get confused in Macro Mode. Menus aren't obvious if you switch from IA and the manual is a pdf, so not easily available.

I did a fair bit of research before I opteded for the TZ9. It's a great point and shoot that works very well and it can also be used as a more technical camera if you want to get creative. The range of settings and adjustments are superb for a compact...

No case included, which I feel there should be at this price. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase.

Easy to get to use straight away using basic functions. Produces great shots both close up and using the maximum zoom. E-zoom is a great feature but not well explained in the literature.

Need to download full operating instructions from CD. Some features not very well explained so take some working out. No viewfinder! Taking shots in bright sunlight can be tricky.

Brand reliability and quality. Good 12x optical zoom in a compact body with the option to exercise manual control. Fills the product gap very well between the TZ8 (no manual controls) and the TZ10 (too many bells & whistles).

None that have been found so far.

The zoom facility is even greater in power than stated with minor limitations. Battery power lasts a long time. Bear in mind, that my experience to date is limited.

I would just prefer something more frictional about the body. I'm continually worried about it slipping out of my grasp, even with the wristband.

This is a super excellently featured camera at a low price. Full manual over ride is available with aperture or shutter priority options yet the automatic settings are really good and many people won't ever use the manual features. The controls are...

There is no optical viewfinder which takes some getting used to.

Excellent quality results, especially pleased with the zoom. Still getting used to all the settings when not on Intelligent Auto but it can do all the things I want it to.

I miss having a viewfinder, I had hoped the screen would be better than on my last digital camera.
