Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 review
Panasonic's flagship TZ camera series has always been about squeezing a big zoom into a small body. And the Panasonic TZ30 pushes the boat out. Last year's Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 featured a 16x zoom and a four step increase over the 12x zoom in the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 .

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 is a well-designed, easy-to-use travel zoom camera that stuffs a 20X Leica lens into a body just 1.1 inches thick.

Panasonic Lumix TZ30
A small digital camera from a company that does a whole raft of electrical items which naturally include cameras. This is perhaps one of their smallest as they also do a range of DSLR units apart from the pocket Lumix range.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 review
Travel cameras are designed to be pocked sized, and to provide the features needed to cover a wide range of situations. Panasonic's Lumix TZ series is one of the market leaders and the DMC-TZ30 is the latest flagship model.

Panasonic Lumix TZ30
The travel compact segment of the digital camera market is one of the most lucrative and keenly contested, with all of the major manufacturers keen to claim a share of the spoils. The main reason why travel compacts have become so popular is because of the flexibility they offer.
Pros:
- Huge zoom range offers great flexibility
- AF speed is some of the fastest yet seen in a compact
- Easy to use and feels well built
- Built-in digital filters and a one-touch panorama mode
- Generous range of Full HD movie recording options
Cons:
- Still no ability to capture lossles Raw image files
- Choice of Full HD movie recording options can be confusing
- Battery performance still isn't great - especially with GPS on

The TZ30 offers a 20x optical zoom and is an excellent camera for travellers, fitted out with all of the tools you could possibly desire. Unfortunately, it just missed the mark on overall image quality, which stops us from awarding it an Editors' Choice award.
Pros:
- 20x optical zoom
- Reasonably speedy performance
- especially for burst shooting
- Good image-stabilisation system
- Good image quality
Cons:
- Relatively low-resolution screen versus its competitors
- No RAW capture
- Battery drains quickly

Panasonic Lumix TZ30 review
The 14.1 megapixel, 20x optical zoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 is the best point and shoot camera it offers in terms of striking the right balance between feature set and performance, before you start stepping up to the likes of the premium-end Panasonic Lumix LX5 and its replacement, or indeed one...
Pros:
- Manual and auto controls
- Compact but comfy grip
- Packed with features
Cons:
- Small function icons on screen
- Quite pricey
- Not a huge step-up from TZ20

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30: Trigger happy.
PRICE **** The camera is a very reasonable £230.00 isn (depending on where you get the camera from) though I would usually not pay this amount for a camera, it was a present to me and I'm very glad I got it as it is worth every penny.
