Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30

Zitat: The Lumix DMC-TZ30 is a fine compact camera with a big zoom lens and a good quality sensor. It can be used in almost all manner of situations, even for video recording, and it´s perfect for travellers because it´s so easy to carry.

Zitat: Highly Recommended Pros: + High speed continuous shooting + Good image quality + Great macro performance + Full HD video, stereo sound, GPS logging + Compact metal body + 20x optical zoom + In camera HDR / Panoramic + GPS features with map + Quick focus Cons: - Rubber grip on the back would be nice - Battery life could be better The Panasonic Lumix TZ30 provides a number of useful features including an impressive 20x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, full HD video recording with stereo sound and built in GPS. There is a 3 inch touch screen on the back, however, the nice thing about it, is that you don´t have to use it as the camera still has a good number of external buttons and controls. Image quality is good, with good colour and detail and the high speed shooting and rapid focus certainly help get good shots. Video is impressive with a high speed option as well as the ability to record GPS information with videos. In fact, there´s very little to complain about with the Panasonic Lumix TZ30 and the camera makes an excellent compact camera.

Zitat: Pro: + Picture quality + general features + 20x zoom + extra zoom + advanced movie mode + GPS + manual exposure modes Contra: - No 360 degree panorama The Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ30 compares favourably against other digital cameras in this category, especially when it comes to features. The 20x lens is hard to beat and features such as stereo sound and a 10 frames per second burst mode help to place it at the top end of the group. Panasonic have packed in just about every current feature you can think of. You should find picture quality very good in most circumstances. There is plenty of very strong competition if you are looking to buy this type of camera, but the Lumix DMC TZ30 compares very well against its rivals.

Zitat: Best Award Beaten for image quality in low light, but in almost every other respect this is the best pocket-sized ultra-zoom camera available

Zitat: The Good: + 20x optical zoom; excellent image stabilisation; very fast autofocus The Bad: - Battery life okay at best - GPS eats battery life - image quality good but not exceptional The TZ30 improves on the TZ20 in every area. Image quality is decent but not outstanding, and battery life could be better, yet every other area is a winner. A great zoom range from 24-480mm, excellent image stabilisation, very fast autofocus and a great 1080p movie mode make this a real crowd-pleaser. It’s not cheap, but it offers lots of features for the cash.
