Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40

 

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 camera is a 30x shooter with an EVF and Raw shooting, but it's expensive.

Sharp lens. 30x zoom range. Integrated EVF. Lens control ring. GPS. Wi-Fi. 1080p60 video.

Images on the noisy side. External charger not included. Difficulties with Lumix Club sharing service. Pricey.

To make a long story short, I wasn't able to login to the Lumix Club Web site with an account that was created on the camera, and the camera couldn't access any accounts created via the iOS app, nor one I had created when reviewing the Panasonic Lumix...

Review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40

 

You don't need a big camera in order to take crisp, detailed and balanced pictures. Premium compact cameras aim to be the best of both worlds: small like a point-and-shoot; powerful and programmable like a DSLR. That's the space the Panasonic Lumix...

The pictures the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS40 takes are by far better than the average point-and-shoot or smartphone, even when in Auto mode. However, at this price, you want to get the best pictures possible. If you're not comfortable working in one of...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 compact camera

 

Panasonic's Travel Zoom camera, the Lumix DMC-TZ60, offers a 30x optical zoom lens in a package that can easily fit in your pocket

Small size ; 30x optical zoom ; Versatile usage scenarios

Image quality can vary depending on zoom level ; Wi-Fi implementation isn't great ; Charging is via cable rather than a dedicated battery charger

Panasonic's latest Travel Zoom camera, the TZ60, offers a massive optical zoom of 30x in a body that can easily slip into a pants pocket. It's small camera with lots of versatility and it ticks almost all the boxes requires of a travel camera. Its...

Panasonic Lumix TZ60

 

A 30x optical zoom, built-in viewfinder and neat design make this the perfect travel compact

Great, high quality design ; Shoots Raw and JPEG ; Bright and clear screen ; Huge and reliable zoom lens

Only so-so above ISO 400 ; No touchscreen ; No standalone battery charger

What the TZ60 doesn't have, however, is a touchscreen display. Instead there’s a bright 3-inch, 920k-dot TFT LCD coupled with a 200k-dot Electronic Viewfinder. Although its resolution is quite low, the EVF does have a good refresh rate and is a decent...

Panasonic TZ60/ZS40 review

 

Panasonic's flagship travel compact gets a 30x optical zoom and EVF

30X Optical zoom ; Built-in EVF ; 18.1-million pixel sensor ; RAW file shooting ; Control ring around lens

No touch screen ; Focus slow in low light ; Noise is an issue at high sensitivities

The TZ60 is a versatile camera that's ideal for taking on trips either for business or pleasure, and its huge zoom and focal range will appeal to both beginners and more experienced photographers.
