Powerful 12x Optical Zoom
The DMC-ZS5 features a powerful 12x optical zoom lens (35mm camera equivalent: 25-300mm). This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. It is also available in movie recording with the mechanism designed to minimize the noise of auto focusing or zooming. And its slim, compact, pocket-sized body can easily go wherever you do for both everyday snapshots and traveling.

Rating : - Solid Travel Camera
Just came back from my vacation with the new ZS5 bought from Amazon. So far I like it as a travel camera.

Pros:

1. Battery life. No additional battery was needed after whole day of shooting pictures and short videos at Seaworld.
2. Wide Angle and Powerful Zoom. It makes my life easier when I need to take pictures across the street or cover as much scenery as possible.
3. Picture quality. The quality of pictures comes back surprisingly good in most cases given the fact I shoot most of my pictures at daylight. The white balance in most cases is correct.
4. HD Video. O.I.S. makes the video quality very good.

Cons:
1. Low light performance. Don't expect anything good after sunset even with flash.
2. Moving object. Better use DSLR for running kids because of the shutter lag.
3. Learning curve. There are 178 pages of user manual to go through before you can master the function.
4. Face recognition. Sometimes it is not fast enough and sometimes the shadow on the face makes it fail to work.
5. HD video. It is stored in mov file and I wish it can store the video in avi file and encoded in h.264 format which is the standard media player format.

In short I like it as a travel camera because it gives you lots of flexibility in a compact body. As long as you know when and where to use it you will get good result. At the price of $200 I am happy.
