As we might expect on a contemporary image capture device, connectivity is via wireless and wired combined, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth offered alongside being able to physically connect a USB or HDMI lead. Designed with an improved 20,3MP MS sensor the DC-TZ95D can keep capturing the sights and your adventures into the night. Enjoy more detail, more clarity and more colour even in low light situations. As expected we get the warm, well-saturated colours Panasonic is known for, as well as plenty of detail captured right into the corners of the frame – at least when there’s plenty of light around. If detail softens at maximum zoom that is only to be expected, especially when shooting handheld, but again results are better than we’ve seen elsewhere from similar products and will certainly satisfy those wanting a record of sunny summer holidays. While its size may suggest a simple snapshot camera, the TZ95 offers photo enthusiasts unadulterated Raw files as well as JPEG capture, plus the ability to shoot up to 4K-resolution video. Aiding ease of use, a familiar red record button on the top plate allows video recording to immediately commerce, whichever alternative mode has been selected on its top plate shooting mode dial. More easily overlooked is a lens control ring. This encircles the retracting zoom lens at the front, with said ring again enabling access to certain pre-assigned settings on the fly. Alternatively, when in ‘iA’ (intelligent Auto) setting, the same lens ring provides an alternative means of zoom adjustment, other than nudging the lever encircling the camera’s shutter release button. The electronic viewfinder is on the small side, but it’s usable – particularly in very sunny situations, where bright light might preclude the use of the screen. Of course, there are also folk who just prefer to compose that way.

But now some manufacturers have decided that cameras with built-in lenses could be somewhat re-purposed as tools for the new wave of content creators – see alternatives including the Sony ZV-1, ZV-1 II, and ZV-1F - and Canon’s quirky PowerShot V10–
The screen and viewfinder are both very good for a camera of this size and style. You can get better image quality if you spend more money and opt for a camera with a larger sensor and a narrower zoom range, but the Panasonic Lumix ZS80 / TZ95 produces pleasing results. Competition Canon PowerShot SX740HS So it’s not a massive update, but while there may not be a lot that’s new, the TZ95 / ZS80 inherits the multitude of features that made its predecessor, and indeed all the TZ / ZS models before it, such a big hit with consumers. These include a 3 inch 1040k dot tilting touch screen, separate mode dial for exposure settings, a programmable lens ring, 10fps continuous shooting plus 8 Megapixel 4K modes at 30fps, 4K video, and RAW shooting. setting that allows you to focus on a subject that is 3cms away from the camera when the lens is set to wide-angle.

It is just frustrating when considering an upgrade, not being able to easily compare. (I was reading on an android tablet).Submit a valuation request and we'll provide guide prices with no delay. Plus, we'll collect your gear from your home or work for FREE. If you need to take it to the next level you can also switch across into 4K photo mode where you can shoot a sequence of 30 frames in a second and extract your best shot afterwards, so you’ll never miss that precise moment. This feature is also useful while shooting in selfie mode with a group of friends to make sure everyone in your photo has their eyes open and are smiling. As well as the new vlogger tools, older models to compare and contrast with the ZS80 include the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS. This boasts a similar form factor yet has a broader focal range courtesy of a whopping 40x optical zoom. Just like the Panasonic it offers a 20.3 megapixel 1/2.3-inch sensor, and under ideal daylight conditions provides color-rich, punchy images requiring little if any image adjustment afterward. Photo enthusiasts will also love the fact that – of course - Raw files can be captured on the TZ95 alongside, or in tandem with, JPEGs, and without any noticeable slow down too in terms of operational speed in regular single shot mode. This being a Panasonic camera, we get the inevitable 4K photo mode to further ease the possibility of capturing the exact shot we want by being able to grab an 8 megapixel still from a 30fps sequence. Otherwise the 20 megapixel maximum resolution is probably as high as you want from a bog standard 1/2.3-inch chip – and for the most part, in available light, the images largely shine.
The current range offers a huge choice of speed, image quality, movie quality, zoom range and much, much more. Macro focus lets you focus on subjects 3cm away from the front of the lens, and hybrid 5-axis image stabilisation helps keep shots and video steady in low light or when using a lot of optical zoom. The ISO range extends from ISO80 up to ISO6400, and the camera can shoot at 10fps at the full resolution of 20 megapixels.Intelligent Auto, P, A, S, M, Creative Video, C (Custom), Panorama Shot, Scene Guide, Creative Control The SZ TZ range appeals to wide range of photographers and there are settings to suit all levels of experience. The mode dial, for example, has settings for Intelligent Auto, program, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, Creative Video, Custom, Panorama Shot, Scene Guide and Creative Control. The Scene Guide mode has 24 different modes available for selection.
The high-end image quality, really good video functionality, stabilisation and all those clever features using 4k Photo modes allow you to get the most from this camera.

As with its TZ90 predecessor, with the ZS80 its manufacturer again puts the camera’s autofocus response time down as a swift 0.1 seconds. In practice, that means if we can visualize a potential image before squeezing its shutter release button then the ZS80 is liable to be able to capture it. The zoom lens is similarly swift to respond, traveling the extent of its focal range from maximum wide angle to extreme telephoto setting in 3-4 seconds. The lens’ gliding operation is accompanied by a commendably low mechanical buzz. On the video front, the ZS80 / TZ95 captures good quality 4K video. However, it’s disappointing to see a change in the framing when movie mode is selected. If you press the video record button in another mode, the image is cropped so you need to compose your shots with this in mind.
