Product Overview
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS45 is an affordable 1/2.33" compact camera with a large zoom range. Introduced by Panasonic in 2015, it comes with a 1/2.33" sensor with 16 MP (4608 x 3456) resolution.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. The 10.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
The Lumix DMC-ZS45 (DMC-TZ57) comes with 21 autofocus points. Panasonic has endowed this compact camera with a 20x zoom lens, which can be quite useful for travels. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
