I have been rather impressed with the Lumix DMC-TZ30 and all that is has to offer. The image quality is good, the lens offers a massive 24-480mm range, there’s Geotagging capability and the camera has the quality to shoot Full HD video with DOLBY...

A small digital camera from a company that does a whole raft of electrical items which naturally include cameras. This is perhaps one of their smallest as they also do a range of DSLR units apart from the pocket Lumix...

The Panasonic Lumix TZ30's 14.1-megapixel headline resolution may read as modest when compared to the 16 and 18 megapixels offered by competing long lens models, such as the Sony Cyber-Shot HX20V (18MP), the Nikon Coolpix S9300 , Samsung WB850F and...

The TZ30 offers a 20x optical zoom and is an excellent camera for travellers, fitted out with all of the tools you could possibly desire. Just make sure to pack an extra battery if you plan on a full day of...

The Lumix DMC-TZ30 is a fine compact camera with a big zoom lens and a good quality sensor. It can be used in almost all manner of situations, even for video recording, and it's perfect for travellers because it's so easy to...

Beaten for image quality in low light, but in almost every other respect this is the best pocket-sized ultra-zoom camera available...

The Panasonic Lumix TZ30 is quite an expensive camera, although when you take into account the raft of functions it starts to appear good value. Features are one thing, though - image quality is quite another. Although the Panasonic Lumix TZ30 is...

The TZ30 improves on the TZ20 in every area. Image quality is decent but not outstanding, and battery life could be better, yet every other area is a winner. A great zoom range from 24-480mm, excellent image stabilisation, very fast autofocus and a...

Panasonic's new travel-zoom compact camera is now stepping on the toes of more modest ultra-zoom bridge models, cramming a 20x zoom lens into a relatively tiny body. In many ways the DMC-TZ30 is also a big improvement on last year's TZ20 model,...

The Panasonic Lumix TZ30 is a decent superzoom compact with an excellent autofocus, a highly effective optical stabilisation system, a fast continuous shooting mode and a great video mode. However, it doesn't handle digital noise as well as some...

Great fun to use and packed with useful features, the sturdy Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 isn't cheap, but it has built-in GPS to geotag your photos, good low-light performance and an impressive movie mode. If you're looking to upgrade your snapper...

We got a chance to use the Lumix DMC-TZ30 around Norfolk Island in a limited hands-on session, courtesy of an all-expenses paid trip by Panasonic. We were blessed with mostly sunny weather on the trip, but we did also experience some rain, heavy cloud...

The TZ30 isn’t the slimmest of compacts but it’s not heavy, nor does it feel bulky. The design is simple and sleek and comes in black, white, brown silver or red models.The camera comes with a 24mm wide-angle Leica DC lens and a new 14.1MP...
