Brief History
Announced by Panasonic in February 2006, a key development in the Lumix DMC-TZ1 digital camera is what is proclaimed to be the world's first use of a retractable lens system with folded optics. This gave the camera greater zoom capacity, 10x optical zoom, in a more compact body than available in other contemporary digital cameras.
