Panasonic Lumix TZ60

 

A 30x optical zoom, built-in viewfinder and neat design make this the perfect travel compact

Great, high quality design ; Shoots Raw and JPEG ; Bright and clear screen ; Huge and reliable zoom lens

Only so-so above ISO 400 ; No touchscreen ; No standalone battery charger

What the TZ60 doesn't have, however, is a touchscreen display. Instead there’s a bright 3-inch, 920k-dot TFT LCD coupled with a 200k-dot Electronic Viewfinder. Although its resolution is quite low, the EVF does have a good refresh rate and is a decent...

Panasonic TZ60/ZS40 review

 

Panasonic's flagship travel compact gets a 30x optical zoom and EVF

30X Optical zoom ; Built-in EVF ; 18.1-million pixel sensor ; RAW file shooting ; Control ring around lens

No touch screen ; Focus slow in low light ; Noise is an issue at high sensitivities

The TZ60 is a versatile camera that's ideal for taking on trips either for business or pleasure, and its huge zoom and focal range will appeal to both beginners and more experienced photographers.

Panasonic Lumix TZ60 review

 

The prospect of the Panasonic Lumix TZ60 (or ZS40 for our American readers) excited us when we first saw it because it's the latest in the line of what we would consider the very best of the all-round "travel zoom" compact cameras. And if you want...

30x optical zoom is small scale, excellent image stabilisation system, physical lens ring control, manual focus options, improved Wi-Fi for sharing images

No touchscreen, viewfinder isn't that useful due to size, autofocus falls below speed expectations to top-end of zoom, flash doesn't clear lens, fiddly Wi-Fi options

As far as 30x optical zoom compact cameras go the Panasonic Lumix TZ60 has plenty of successes. There's decent autofocus, good image quality, excellent image stabilisation and a whole roster of other top features that show the TZ60's aspirations to be...

Hands-on: Panasonic Lumix TZ60 review - Pocket-lint

 

When it comes to top-tier all-in-one compact cameras, the Panasonic Lumix TZ-series is the first name to pop into our heads. The existing TZ40 was an all-round

A little camera with a big, big zoom

Massive 30x optical zoom ; Compact, tidy and pocketable ; Handy electronic viewfinder

Patchy performance at extreme telephoto

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ60 / ZS40

 

The Panasonic TZ-60 is lightweight, at about half a pound, and comes in a very compact form factor (4.3 x 2.5 x 1.35 inches) for a camera with a 30X (35mm equivalent: 24-720mm) Leica integral lens. The camera has an 18 MP MOS sensor with a 3 inch Live...

With a generous 30x zoom, electronic viewfinder and built-in wi-fi, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 is a flagship compact camera with bold ambitions. To live up to them, it needs to justify its price with a truly great picture performance. Our test lab...
