Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30
Like earlier iterations of Panasonic's travel zoom range, the TZ30 boasts plenty of features that jet setters will find invaluable. This camera sits neatly in the hand, and there's a substantial grip on the front panel.
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 DMC-TZ30 camera
We really like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 and think that it really does live up to its purpose as a travel camera. It possesses excellent versatility thanks to its 20x optical zoom lens, has a wealth of features, is easy to use and it performs well, both in terms of speed and image quality.
Pros:
- Versatile lens
- Good image quality
- Easy to use
Cons:
- Build could be a little better
- Has to be charged via its USB port

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30
The green GPS light keeps flashing all night even when the camera is switched off. Do you really expect me to go into the setup menue everytime I switch it on /off to deal with Gps settings?

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 is a wonderfully versatile camera that's small, powerful and great for travelling.

What's not to like? The TZ30 has taken everything that made the TZ20 good and made it one step better. As follow-ups go they don't come much better. However, battery life could be longer and image quality could be improved further – though that's common for most, if not all, compact cameras.
Pros:
- 20x optical zoom
- excellent image stabilisation
- very fast autofocus
Cons:
- Battery life okay at best
- GPS eats battery life
- image quality good but not exceptional

Best balance at the bargain price I paid.
This camera was purchased cheaply, due to a closing down sale. I would not have bought this camera otherwise. It has won a lot of reviews, though the TZ25 has edged it in some. The image stabilizer is very good.
Pros:
- This camera was purchased cheaply, due to a closing down sale
- I would not have bought this camera otherwise
- It has won a lot of reviews, though the TZ25 has edged it in some
- The image stabilizer is very good.
Cons:
- Typical of Panasonic cameras is make sure you leave the mode selector on shoot
- The delay is long in review mode
- No post red-eye removal in camera like my Canon SX200is.

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.

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.

I knew things must have moved on since buying my first digital camera - although 4 Megapixels seemed amazing at the time. But I hadn't realised they'd moved on this much. This amazingly compact camera is easy to use and, crucially, takes great looking pictures.
