LUMIX TZ/ZS99 Point and Shoot Camera, Compact Camera for Travel with 30x Zoom with 24-720mm Zoom Lens, and 4K Video/Photo, Great for Travel and Concerts, DC-TZ99 (Silver)

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

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.

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.

Camera came setup in another language (asian) and I was unable to reset it to English. There were no instructions included so I had to go to youtube to get instructions on how to change the language . Which was very annoying , I been using the camera for over week now and after changing to English I was able to make changes to get clearer pictures. Other than that the camera works well.

Amazing camera ! Bought it used and it looked brand new! So far no issues. Amazing quality

I shoot most of my pictures these days with my cellphone. But sometimes wildlife just doesn't want to come closer. This camera is portable and has an incredible zoom. Love it! If you want to get fancy there is shutter or aperture priority. Also several scene modes. I've had success just leaving it in iA mode (intelligent automation).

cam with no instructions... and hard to operate without.. cannot get a book from the manufacturer either. Was disappointed

Prompt delivery, brand new condition.

I recently bought the Panasonic LUMIX DC-TZ99E-S Compact Travel Zoom camera, and after using it for a while, I’ve been really impressed with what it offers in such a small body. The biggest standout feature is definitely the 30x optical zoom. It’s incredible to have that kind of reach in a camera that still fits in a pocket. Whether I’m taking travel shots, zooming in on distant details, or just capturing everyday moments, the flexibility is brilliant. The image quality is solid in good lighting, with the Leica lens producing sharp and detailed photos that are more than good enough for holidays and general use. I also really like how easy it is to use. It’s very much a point-and-shoot camera, so there’s no complicated setup—just turn it on and start shooting. The tilting screen is handy for different angles and selfies, and the 4K video option is a nice bonus for capturing short clips while travelling. Build quality feels good too. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around all day without noticing it in your bag or pocket. The stabilisation helps keep shots steady, especially when using the zoom. If I had to mention a downside, low-light performance isn’t its strongest area, and images can get a bit noisy in darker conditions. Also, the lack of a viewfinder might be a drawback for some users, especially in bright sunlight. Overall, this is a fantastic travel camera if you want something small, simple, and powerful in terms of zoom. It’s not trying to replace a professional camera, but for holidays and everyday photography, it does a really great job.

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 Verpackung schnell 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 !

Produit déjà connu depuis plusieurs années, un peu cher, mais moins que la concurrence. Entièrement satisfait.
