Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 / DMC-TZ100 1″ Compact Camera (2016)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 is an affordable 1″ compact camera. Introduced by Panasonic in 2016, it comes with a 1" sensor with 20 MP (5472 x 3648) resolution and a 1.17 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. One should note that the Lumix DMC-ZS100 has a 125 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The 10.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
The Lumix DMC-ZS100 (DMC-TZ100) comes with 49 autofocus points. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
