Valuable
Great value. Pictures are very good. Not super high quality but nice. Zoom is great. Very travel friendly and good for family trips and concerts

Love it
Just received and my review is very surface level as I’m a person who photographs on auto. I had a Sony SX 740 that went overboard when I did in a kayak. The replacement cost for that model was triple so I sought a different option. This takes better photos, nicer quality, less zoom strength but easier to function ( not one to read directions) and less expensive. So far, great! Very nice macros, my favourite way to shoot subjects.

Great Camera! Check Seller Though
The camera itself is excellent. Build quality is great: clicky, snappy controls and a surprising amount of customization. Full PASM features are well represented and the camera has an unbelievably deep menu for a point-and-shoot. The BEST features are the stepped zoom and the ability to turn on “Lens Position Resume” which allows you to hop back to the last focal distance used when turning the camera back on. I cannot overstate how useful that is on a power zoom lens. Should be noted that the Leica D-Lux 8 (a zoom camera that’s almost $2k as of this review) is missing this feature!In general the UI and utility of the TZ are awesome. Battery life is better than expected. Back screen is surprisingly good and articulates in one direction. Image quality is decent. If you’re ok with noise/grain, or can at least work with it (raws are still somewhat malleable up to ISO 1600) there’s 20 megapixels’ worth of resolution. More than most folks need. The only unfortunate quality of the lens/sensor is the amount of color aberration at the corners. But this is in-keeping with the 2010’s digicam aesthetic, so it might work for you. For what it’s worth, the Tough TG-7 also exhibits this kind of color fringing.Note:The only reason I took a point off is that, even though I ordered from the US, the copy of the camera that I received is very much a TZ version. This means it was meant for the European/Asian market. Someone (most likely the reseller, which, oddly, was also from the US) had preset the camera to English and replaced the OEM manual with a laser-copied, stapled version (also in English). As far as I can tell, the camera is in good working order, the rest of the box contents are correct, and the only difference between the TZ and ZS versions is the firmware you’ll have to download from Lumix. However, this kind of tinkering with the contents of the box is a little suspicious and doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

Easy to Use, yet Sohpisitcated Digital Camera
This camera can be used by beginner and experienced pro photographers alike. I like the size … it easily fits in my pocket and is great for traveling. This camera has numerous functions but you can set it to “auto” mode and it will take very nice photos. You can also scroll through the various menu options if you prefer manual settings. It features a Leica 30-1 zoom lens. I plan to use it for an Alaskan Cruise and hope to capture some photos of whales. There will be very little need for photo editing as the quality of the camera renders great color accuracy. The battery is rechargeable. I’m looking forward to using this camera for a very long time.

Not ready for prime time IMO.
I purchased this camera for vacation travel in place of my Fuji XT5. The specs and reviews were great. Price was reasonable compared to other models in that category which are very few.Sadly I had to return it since I found the Auto focus poor. The menu was not very intuitive and difficult to navigate. The picture quality was very poor, compared to my iPhone 16 pro. I ended up using my iPhone for most of my vacation.LCD screen display very difficult to read during daylight. The zoom function and battery life were good. The camera is very light and good looking.I did not use it for videos. Low light photos hand held were almost non usable.

Great quality compact, many, many features (most of which I will probably never use!) but works very well on auto and feels nice and solid construction. Great optical zoom capability, with extra digital zoom if needed. Flip screen is nice and clear. Battery charges ‘in camera’ via USB, so no need to remove it (unlike my previous camera)

Over the years I’ve owned several Panasonic Lumix cameras in this format and have used them so frequently that I’ve worn them out. The latest version has remover the viewfinder as part of the design I would have liked it if they had kept this feature. So, 4 stars instead of 5.

Tolle Kamera, klasse Preisleistung – Leistungsverhältnis. Die Kamera wurde in einer sehr professionellen Verpackungschnell und sorgfältig von DHL geliefert, sehr zu meiner Freude , okay Zubehöre gleich Null, aber das war ja bekannt.Ich bin sehr zufrieden und kann den Kauf nur als ausgesprochen zufriedenstellend beschreiben, ein großes Lob an die Firma Erhart !
