Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 review
Panasonic invented the pocket-sized ultra-zoom camera with its TZ series, but last year's Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 was outgunned by rival cameras offering bigger zooms and better image quality, especially in low light.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30
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

- Reasonably speedy performance, especially for burst shooting
- Good image-stabilisation system
- Good image quality
Cons:
- Relatively low-resolution screen versus its competitors

Point, Shoot, Recall!!
Had been long looking for a GPS enabled camera. got one of these last month. This model is an improvement over the DMZ-20. The GPS seek time is less than before, however the sensitivity leaves much to be desired.
