TZ100 First Look


So at CES 2016 Panasonic launched their new TZ camera(s) starting off with the update to the well regarded TZ70. Adding touch screen, post focus, 4k video, 4k photo all features taken from the higher end interchangeable lens cameras. But then came the exciting news, the launch of a new range, the TZ100 the large sensor older sibling of the current TZ range. Whilst you drop down to a 10x zoom you gain a much larger 1" sensor, along with the other features that have been introduced to the TZ80 (Post focus, 4K Photo and video and touch screen as well as 100fps in FHD video too) the camera has not lost its popular selling point of being one of the few compact cameras with a view finder. 

Now whilst the camera has dropped zoom of the rest of the current TZ range it is still a massive zoom for the sensor size, in comparison the Sony 1" camera with a 10x Zoom is a huge bridge camera while the TZ remains a jacket pocket camera (With the added bonus of all the 4K features) 

So I have now had the camera for around a week, its been to Dublin with me and on several dog walks and so far I have had some fantastic shots check them out here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/joshcunninghamphotography/

With super fast focus, great low light performance and a compact size for a camera with such great specs, I can see this camera dominating the premium compact range for a while to come. 

I will be testing and using the camera more and more over the next few weeks, any questions Tweet me @PhotoOomph or leave a question in the comments section below.
