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 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 ZS60 Review

 

Are you looking for a camera with a powerful zoom lens in a pocket-friendly package? In 2015, Panasonic catered to this need with its Lumix ZS50 digital camera. A year later, it follows up with the Panasonic ZS60, offering a far-reaching 30x optical...

Available from mid-March 2016, the Panasonic ZS60 will be sold in either silver or black body colors. Pricing in the US market is set at around US$450 or thereabouts.

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...

Panasonic TZ80

 

The Panasonic TZ80 is a compact camera for people who want to have it all. It has a huge 30x optical zoom, but is very small and can even shoot 4K video.

Panasonic TZ80/SZ60 review

 

Panasonic's evolution of its superzoom travel compact is now playing second fiddle to the new TZ100

30x optical zoom ; Touch-sensitive screen ; 4K video/photo modes

Image smoothing at high ISOs ; Loss of detail at 30x zoom ; Small viewfinder

The TZ80 goes back to an 18Mp sensor after the 12 megapixel device in the TZ70. This seems to have had a negative impact upon image quality in low light, which is a shame because the featureset it great.
