Question : Is the Panasonic DMC-TZ5K a price effective choice for a camera
I need a new camera because my Casio Exilim stopped working. I was told that Panasonic is the lead brand in cameras in the way of quality. The DMC-TZ5K is priced at about $350, and I am going to be using for pictures to use in a yearbook, or journal articles, as well as just general use, and maybe some practice artistic photography.Thanks in advance If you know a better camera, please give me suggestions

Question : Does the Panasonic DMC-LZ6 have a Leica or a Panasonic lens
I have a digial camera - Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6. I thought that all Panasonic Lumix cameras have Leica lenses. But this says its a "LUMIX DC VARIO" lens. The other similar models say they have a "Leica DC VARIO" lens. Also it doesn't say "Leica" on the front of the lens body like the other Lumix cameras. The Panasonic website and manual aren't much help either.So, if they are two different lenses, is the Leica a lot better than the otherThanks.
Answer:
Leica doesn't make any lenses for Panasonic Lumix digital point and shoot cameras. Under a licensing agreement, Panasonic is allowed to imprint the Leica brand name on products that meet manufacturing and quality standards deemed appropriate by Leica."Leica is a registered trademark of Leica Microsystems IR GmbH. The Leica DC lenses are manufactured using measurement instruments and quality assurance systems that have been certified by Leica Camera AG based on the company's quality standards." (1)Additionally, the Panasonic Lumix LZ is the company's budget-series of compact digital cameras so the LZ6 certainly doesn't measure up to the Leica brand name simply from a marketing perspective. So, it doesn't mean that it's a bad lens or a bad camera just because it isn't labeled with the famed moniker.The same is true with Kodak and Samsung with Schneider Kreuznach lenses and Sony with Carl Zeiss lenses. Quality optic manufacturers do not have the capacity to mass produce parts for consumer goods.
