Panasonic SZ10 review

A 12x optical zoom, inbuilt Wi-Fi and a selfie-screen make this a neat and versatile little camera

Optical zoom ; Inbuilt Wi-Fi ; Creative modes

Poor performance in low light ; No manual control ; No touch screen

The SZ10 has a wide range of features, including a selfie screen, Wi-Fi and an impressive 12x zoom range, but it's let down by its indifferent image quality, especially at higher ISO settings in poor light. The SZ10 is very simple and delivers some...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ10 Review

We review the compact and wallet friendly Panasonic Lumix SZ10, with 12x optical zoom lens, a tilting 'selfie' screen and Wi-Fi.

12x optical zoom lens ; Creative effects ; Easy to use ; Wi-Fi connectivity ; Compact and lightweight

Non-standard USB cable for charging (not MicroUSB) ; Very low-resolution panoramic photos ; 720p video recording ; Slow continuous shooting

The Panasonic Lumix SZ10 is a compact and fairly stylish point and shoot camera with a good zoom range, thanks to a 12x optical zoom lens. The tilting screen and built in Wi-Fi will be appealing to many however, the use of a CCD sensor means that the...

What a surprise

We have several cameras but need a few for fun and keep in the truck, etc. I had a cannon that I truly loved and my wife misplaced it. I happened to be browsing Brad's deals and saw this and after reading about it. Figured how bad can it be?

I'm Satisfied

A novice here so this won't apply to the average user. The camera works great for my needs which are simple photos and an occasional video. The only dislike is videos have a short time before ending automatically. Added a 32gb memory card and that is...

Fine Simple Camera

This is a fine little camera if you don't need all the bells and whistles. Does NOT do RAW, only JPEG, but has a nice, realistic zoom range, including 24mm equivalent - hooray - and is fairly pocketable. At the clearance price it was a steal! Great...
