In this Panasonic TC-P54V10 review we are going to take a look at what is the best plasma TV of 2009 in the 54 inch size class. This review applies to both TC-P54V10 (54 inch) as well as TC-P50V10 (50 inch) because both of them are part of Panasonic V10 series. There are other size variants available as well, however it is possible that those are slightly different (not much though). Excepting Panasonic Z1 which is probably going to be sold only through specialized dealers, TC-P54V10 is the top of the line plasma TV from Panasonic. It is at the top of their 2009 lineup both because of its exceptional picture quality, but also because of its rich feature set. This is a high-end TV, so naturally you will have to pay a relatively high price for it.
What Makes it the Best HDTV of 2009?
Pioneer Kuro Elite models have been and remain the best HDTVs of all times. However they are now discontinued since Pioneer is no longer manufacturing TVs. The gap left open by Pioneer's leave is now to be filled by Panasonic and Samsung, both having exceptionally good plasma TV-s in their high-end series. LG is also present on the plasma television market, however nobody seems to have reviewed their 2009 models. Though, Samsung came with visible improvements to their plasma TVs this year, especially in the black level department, Samsung is still visibly superior. The black levels of TC-P54V10 are simply fantastic. Though they are not able to surpass those seen in Pioneer Elite models, they come close and are visibly better than the black levels of any other HDTV out there. With deep blacks and excellent shadow detail the image on a TC-P54V10 is life-like. Combined with the accurate colors offered by THX mode, the result is superb. A delight to a viewer's eyes.
From Viera Cast to Picture Controls
Naturally, as one might expect from any high-end pricy HDTV, Panasonic TC-P54V10 has a very rich feature set. Though LG's PS80 series come with an integrated hard drive disk and NetFlix support, making it the most feature-rich model out there, the set of features present on Panasonic TC-P54V10 isn't small either. You get the old services that Viera Cast offered since 2008 (weather, stocks, news, etc) and on top of that, beginning with this year you have access to Amazon Video on Demand (VoD). Aside from these "exotic" features, you have access to a rich set of picture controls. Taking into consideration that though color accuracy is good in THX mode, one can complain about its default settings in other modes, the rich set of picture and color controls will come handy when calibrating the TV in non-THX modes.

Panasonic TC-P54V10 Review - Best TV of 2009
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 Digital Camera
Specifications: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 is an alternative to the very popular ZS3. Although they look very similar, there are some significant differences. The ZS1 is a sort of a 'lower end' mode. It does not have HD movie recording mode like the ZS3. Instead, it has a VGA video recording mode, which is more than sufficient for many of us. This model comes with a 10.1MP image sensor and a 12x optical zoom. It also comes with a wide-angle lens (4.1 - 49.2mm)
Design: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 is a compact point-and-shoot camera, measuring at 4.1 x 1.3 x 2.4 inches. It weighs just 7.3 oz. This model comes in two colors, black and silver, both looking equally sleek. It has a very professional-looking design (unlike the toy-like designs of many other brands). The right side of the camera bulges a little to provide a comfortable grip and on the flipside, you will find the spacious 2.7-inch LCD display.
Features & Performance: The menu and navigation of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 user interface is very simple and easy to use. It has a decent battery life, lasting up to 320 shots on a single charge. One of my favorite features is that while you are movie mode, you can still use the camera's 12x optical zoom. Many competing models can zoom when shooting videos. My only complain about it is its rather 'soft' mode dial. It turns easily so you can often accidentally turn it while holding the camera. Other than that, and the absence of the HD movie mode, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 seems to be almost flawless. It currently costs around $250 each, making it an excellent buy.
