Panasonic Lumix ZS60 review

 

Panasonic ZS60 with 30x zoom is everything a travel camera should be, but it's time to ditch the small sensor.

At $449, the ZS60 is a good travel camera overall. It’s relatively light, and it’s very compact considering it’s packing a 30x zoom. The older ZS50, based on customer ratings, was very popular, and while manufacturers oftentimes get criticized for not...

Panasonic's ZS60 camera lets you adjust focus after you shoot

 

Along with a bevy of shooting options, including 4K video and stills, the compact 30x zoom camera announced at CES 2016 uses high-speed autofocus to make sure the subject you want is sharp.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ80 Review

 

Announced at this year's CES, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ80 (also known as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60) features a 30x optical zoom (24-720mm equivalent) and is a replacement for last year's TZ70. It sits below the new TZ100 - last year's TZ57 has been...

Panasonic has added some interesting technology to its superzoom segment of the market, and it's interesting to see that the Lumix DMC-TZ80 now represents the more affordable of the company's duo of new travel compacts.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 Review: Good for Travel

 

The DMC-ZS60 is an affordable alternative to Panasonic's DMC-LX100, but it makes some compromises to get to a sub-$500 price.

Powerful 30X zoom lens ; solid, compact design ; touch-screen LCD

Very limited low-light capability, unimpressive 4K video with wobbly distortion

This pocketable camera has a 30X zoom lens and a good price, but low-light and 4K-video performance could be better.

Panasonic Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 review

 

Panasonic's Lumix TZ80, or ZS60 as it's known in North America, is a pocket-super-zoom with a 30x optical range, 18 Megapixel sensor, 4k video, touchscreen and built-in electronic viewfinder. Announced in January 2016 alongside the flagship TZ100 /...

Built-in EVF and 3-inch touch-screen ; 30x / 24-720mm equivalent zoom range ; 4k movies, 4k photo and 4k Post Focus modes ; Lots of manual control, customisation and support for RAW files ; Built-in Wifi

4k video suffers from noise & less detail than models with bigger sensors ; Screen is fixed - doesn't tilt ; Approaching the price of 1in sensor compacts, albeit with less zoom

The Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 is the natural successor to the TZ70 / ZS50, the previous flagship travel zoom from Panasonic. Forgetting about the TZ100 / ZS100 for a moment, the TZ80 / ZS60 remains the obvious choice for those looking to pack an awesomely long...

Panasonic Lumix ZS60 Digital Camera Review

 

Have zoom, will travel.

While it may seem silly to buy a dedicated point-and-shoot when most people already have a smartphone, a travel zoom is another beast altogether. Though cameras like the ZS60 are a bit pricey, they offer incredible zoom ratios that no smartphone can...
