The Lumix TZ300 is a compact digital camera designed for travellers and creators who want the best image quality in a portable form. Whether you're on holiday photographing distant sights, capturing vibrant night shots in a busy city or capturing spontaneous moments with friends, this versatile camera adapts to any situation. The Lumix TZ300 combines a powerful 15x optical zoom with a 1-inch 20 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor to deliver clear, detailed images even in challenging lighting. The LEICA-certified lens covers a focal length of 24-360mm, so everything from wide landscapes to distant subjects can be captured with clear precision. To ensure stable shots, the Power O.I.S. effectively compensates for camera shake in telephoto or low-light situations. For video recording, the TZ300 offers 4K recording with 3840 × 2160 pixels, delivering lifelike detail for travelling and fast action. High-speed FHD 120fps recording offers smooth slow motion, while 4K Photo captures moments at 30 frames per second so you can achieve the perfect picture.

Especially with autofocus and video, the TZ300 shows that it has remained at the 2018 standard. In terms of image quality, the widely spread zoom takes its toll, especially at long focal lengths. Instead of omitting the viewfinder, Panasonic should have at least modernized the camera in some respects...
The Lumix TZ300 takes good-quality photos – even if the subject is a bit further away, the 15x zoom simply brings it closer. It offers plenty of settings and controls, yet is easy to use. This means even beginners can easily take great photos. Not so great: the Lumix TZ300 doesn’t have a viewfinder and offers few video functions.
