The Panasonic Lumix TZ60 is a highly affordable pocket travel zoom camera, aimed at people looking for great image quality in a small, pocketable design.

Housing an 18.1-megapixel high sensitivity MOS sensor and boasting a bright 30x optical zoom Leica f/3.3-6.4 lens, the TZ60 offers significantly better image quality when compared to a smartphone.

The convenient and compact TZ60 can go everywhere you go, slipping into jacket and trouser pockets with ease, and when you’re ready to capture the moment, you have the option of a built-in viewfinder. The TZ60 is one of only a handful of pocket cameras that offer a built-in viewfinder, positioned on its left shoulder. Alternatively, photographers can use the camera’s 3-inch 920k-dot LCD screen for composing photos and videos.

Taking pictures of everything from portraits to still life, buildings or landscape scenes and parties is made easier with the versatile 24-720mm (30x optical zoom) lens of the TZ60 and built-in flash. The camera also offers a tactile control ring around the lens, which can be customised to control functions such as zoom and exposure settings for example. The camera’s HYBRID O.I.S+ offers 5-axis image stabilisation to compensate for shaking movements, reducing the chance of getting blurry images when shooting photos and videos handheld. The TZ60 can also capture images in the uncompressed RAW file format, as well as JPEG, better for making detailed adjustments in post production.

People looking for a versatile pocket travel camera that has a great zoom range, and delivers good quality images and videos would do well to consider the Panasonic Lumix TZ60.

Panasonic TZ60 - Video recording and connectivity

The Panasonic TZ60 records Full HD 1080/60p quality video footage, perfect for documenting travels and key life moments. Additionally, the camera’s stabilisation also offers steady shooting when recording videos.
