Panasonic's LUMIX DMC-TZ8 is one of the most versatile compact digital cameras on the market: it has a 25mm wide angle lens with a 12x zoom, a 12.1-megapixel sensor and manual exposure controls.

The problem is that its image quality isn’t great; in fact, it’s not an improvement over last year’s excellent Travel Zoom camera, the LUMIX DMC-TZ7. Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ8 p...
