Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 is an affordable 1/2.3" compact camera with a large zoom range. Introduced by Panasonic in 2015, it comes with a 1/2.3" sensor with 12 MP (4000 x 3000) 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. It should be noted for having a 80 base ISO, which promises cleaner shots. The 10.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.

The Lumix DMC-ZS50 (DMC-TZ70) comes with 23 autofocus points. Panasonic has endowed this compact camera with a 30x zoom lens, which can be quite useful for travels. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
