love your reviews! everything is clearly explaint. one thing i love about the FX500 is the touch screen that allows u to select the focusing point, good work!
Depends how much you want the 10x zoom of the TZ5 or the touchscreen of the FX500! I've compared them on the verdict page of the FX500 review at cameralabs . com...
Mr. Gordon have a splendid view. I think he lives in "Queenstown" on "Lake Esplanade" in "Sunshine Bay" just near "Lake Wakatipu" and the peninsulas you see in his reviews are "Queenston Gardens" and "Kelvin Heights Golf course". That's a very nice location Gordon; and I really love your reviews. The website is also very good! Cheers man and keep up the good work!
Hey MandeepGadgetBoy, if you click the reviews section at cameralabs . com you'll see we've tested virtually the same number of compacts as we have DSLRs! There's just been a run of DSLRs recently...
I think there's definitely an aspect of Panasonic being deliberately annoying (!) but as you can see in our TZ5 video, there were focusing issues when you zoomed during filming. Maybe they don't want to damage their camcorder sales!
It's a wonder that Gordon's expansive head does not simply explode with fury over such frequent viewer inattentiveness... To answer your question: Panasonic are indeed, being "deliberately annoying". Don't forget to visit the cameralabs web site for a full review.
I love this camera ❤

I use Adobe Premiere to edit the videos, but I compress the rendered AVI with Windows Movie Maker into a WMV which is then uploaded to RUclips - phew!

They're the same camera - see the intro page of our review at cameralabs . com.
@TheYuck23 I'm not a technical support line - especially if you insult me! Ask Panasonic or a shop which sells them to help.
There's an optical zoom while filming on the Panasonic TZ5 and Sony S5 IS...

Great review as always, seems like quite a lovely compact despite no raw capture. How does the screen hold up to fingerprints and dirt?
I would like to know the answear too! There seems to be little that splits them apart.
Is there some kind of technical reason why you can't zoom when filming, or is it Panasonic being deliberatly annoying?
I haven't seen the coolpix s600, so can't say, sorry!
can you crop photos you've taken? what other cameras have the cropping option...
that touch-screen looks interesting!
'
is this camera can recording video on while zoom in / out
I love you Gordon. You are lovey.
Does it have a wrist strap?
This looks like the FX520 not 500 which one is this?
What charger dose it use?
I cant find one that works
I reviewed this 14 years ago, so I have no idea.
@@cameralabs yeah I did research and I found that there's a sepret charger for the battry but thanks for replying.

You're so young here 😮

@@cameralabs that is true. I just picked up a FX550 which is why I was watching this review earlier. Fantastic camera. Feels way ahead of it's time.
@@chrisbloom382 nice! Hope you're also watching my Dino Bytes channel for vintage camera reviews!
