Putting the comparisons to one side, the Lumix ZS15 / TZ25 has a lot to offer with a 16x stabilised optical zoom, a 12.1 Megapixel sensor that produces excellent image quality and good high ISO performance, 1080i HD video with AVCHD encoding, and a range of shooting modes that go all the way from fully manual to Intelligent Auto including versatile high speed continuous shooting and fun creative modes plus panoramic and 3D capture.
By contrast with earlier models, the ZS15 / TZ25 is much more than a cut down version of Panasonic´s flagship pocket super-zoom. It has its own distinct character and provides a mix of features that, when looked at in their own right make for a compelling offering for anyone looking for a powerful pocket super-zoom that´s priced significantly below the flagship models from Canon, Sony and Panasonic itself. It may lack the ZS20 / TZ30´s expansive feature-set, but by delivering the core capabilities you need with decent image quality at a good price, it easily earns our Recommended award.
