Panasonic Lumix TZ220/TZ200/ZS200/ZS220 Review by Georges Cameras

[@tasmedic]

The lack of an articulating screen is a real deal breaker for me. Thanks for the review.

[@PhotoVideoTechOz]

Great Review Guys!

[@peterscrace3530]

Just purchased TZ110 for $600 brand new, TZ220 is slightly better BUT not double the price better, either way both are excellent.

[@bonz70]

Nice Review! Do you think it's still a good camera for 2022? Thanks

[@markriley7472]

Excellent video and seeing the camera in use and your immediate observations on it! Really good to see a real world review by an experienced photographer. I think it's an excellent option for many, not just for travel, but as a second, or even primary, camera for enthusiasts who simply want to have fun and not be weighed down with lenses/bodies etc! Besides, the one inch sensors seem to be fine and work very well. IQ is always very subjective anyway. But kudos to Panasonic for their cameras and innovation. I think that all the disadvantages of the slower lens, maybe also not perfect IQ at longer focal lengths and low light challenges are outweighed by the sheer fun and enjoyment of a pick up and go camera like this. Anyway, it will be a good learning tool to use and defy critics by using the camera and challenging yourself to produce great results! And sometimes it pays to have a discrete, compact camera, especially when travelling! Something you might worry about in North Korea for example!!

Great review. Showed me many things that can be done with the camera. Macro looks amazing! Wish it had an articulating screen but, not to be. I love the ZS100 but decided to upgrade to this one despite losing a bit of light in the lens.

[@hambeast3966]

Were you happy with the upgrade? I was looking at both and opted for the ZS200/TZ220 in the end as it was newer.

[@StaffViet2009]

when will the brand consider putting some form of sealing against dust, water to the this kind of compact camera?

[@jjccllgg]

Nice review. Thank you! I have the Leica C-Lux. And as you say, "no shake whatsoever". The viewfinder is amazing. Not to mention the insane zoom. Excellent Leica optics. I believe it brings the best of both works. Japanese & German technology. And the EVF is wondeful. I am nearsighted and I adjusted it for me. Perfect!

[@jjccllgg]

Would loive to see you use the Leica C-Lux. Not much difference, but a few things.

[@JohnWick-xr4wd]

What about the low light performance?

[@89singgih]

Which do you choose, TZ220 or ZV1.... For travelling...?

[@narcis9899]

Is the screen made from plastic or glass?

[@tomailboxth303]

now, near the end of 2020. Any update on TZ200 pass 1 year or more. Are you encounter any frustrated in use?

[@samsargdong1135]

Perhaps, one of the most convincing reviews I've seen about the Panasonic TZ 200.Something missing?Maybe,some night shots. Bye!

[@gayanthavitharanage9306]

•Can we disable the auto-retracting of the lens? Cause when we do a stop motion, it's really annoying that the lens keeping retracting into the body while we are reviewing the shot. •Can we assign anything to function buttons?; like shutter speed, ISO and aperture? •Can we shoot movies with the manual settings?; do the settings (like f 4.6, 1/60 S, 200 ISO) we set in, say, manual mode, apply to the movie we shoot as well?

[@narcis9899]

All the buttons are customizable.

[@workfasts]

How is the audio quality? I am videoing some small singing event

[@89singgih]

Is there any overheat problem with that camera...?

[@Richmoreira]

Is it better than then Sony Rx100 vii?

[@vjekan]

Great review! Is the Sony RX100 mark 7 worth the premium price difference considering the performance? In Croatia, the mark 7 Sony is double the price of the Panasonic and since I'm an amateur photographer and use everything in Auto 90% of the time, would the Panasonic be ok for my needs?

[@digimaniecz]

Sony RX100 Mark 7 makes sense if you want to take HD videos (better slow-motion, S-Log/HLG modes,...). It does not make much sense for amateur photographer.

[@rinsecycle]

so, good video; consider not having too many shots of you just taking a shot where we don't really learn anything and are just having to watch you shoot.

[@mrichards5377]

Does it have a wrist strap

[@wezasouthafrica]

Hi everyone. I am looking for a camera to record classes. We are using white boards in our classroom to write and explain to our online learners, we are looking for a camera that can capture our classes very well. Please advice

[@val.m77100]

добрый день. я так понял 5:20 экран мягкий. для ношения в кармане для защиты экрана что-нибудь предусмотрено?

[@mramzanrk9524]

Sir, I want to get his lens from where I want to be from Pakistan plz reply

[@jjtruble7263]

The camera would be perfect if the screen could tilt

[@davidpeake1231]

Just bought one for A$800 ! Competition works. Nobody in their right mind would pay A$1200.

[@shiroicro7737]

Low light?

[@Yoko.Kurama]

Does this have manual focus?

[@kennieMusicLovers]

what is the price ?

[@luckynever8208]

pretty soft and slow lens for $500 it maybe a buy...but $1200 is so ridiculous lol

[@GoA7250]

The TZ90 is a good option then

[@jjccllgg]

If you use it for a while in the streets, you will get to understand the price. The LEICA C-Lux which I have, is US$1050. Best of both worlds, Japanese craftmanship and German Leica glass. I LOVE mine! And I have dslrs and my street Ricoh GRii.

[@MorkusReX]

Bought it now from Amazon for $600 USD (shipped).

[@jjccllgg]

@@MorkusReX Good for you! You will love it!

[@giannis6552]

Juan Carlos Lopez I bought it two weeks ago, but I am not sure if I really like it. I find that the images are not very bright and do not have much contrast. Do you know how it compares to Sony rx100vii?

[@muhammad_dng]

0:23 excitement dance

[@johnquak4120]

I can't work out how to crop a photo and save the cropped photo as another photo ????

[@oliberrr]

Not sure if missed it.. What’s the sensor size and does it have raw?

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

oliver mia “1 inch” sensor.

[@tompchromedome]

I hope they have fixed the problem of dust entering the camera as the telescoping zoom lens barrel creates a vacuum when used , hard to believe so much electronic and mechanical technology is negated by this simple and easily rectifiable fault . It has really put me off Panasonic cameras.

[@sirus3322]

wht is the aperture on ths?

[@akinolasamuel9531]

very good

[@Yodaman_Master]

How’s it at night taking phots

[@jjccllgg]

Will give mine a try soon. With the Leica C-lux. Will post results.

[@aua6885]

Is it good for family use?

[@camillebtan]

How is it in low light?

[@luckynever8208]

pretty much average because of the slow lens. smartphone like P20 Pro, Pixel 2, Samsung S9 probably better with photo stacking computational algo. G7XII will blow away this

[@RehdClouhd]

Slow mo?

[@Chorum28]

shoot in 4k bro

[@DV8DEVIATE]

sydney love

[@rabe85]

TZ202 is another name (germany only?) ;)

[@SkyForce6700]

Of course the Angela Merkel edition with special built in AI that will censor any picture taken that can be seen as offensive ya know... LOL

[@rabe85]

It has a special focus for the merkel diamond :)

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

“Huge” one inch sensor. Lol. One inch sensors are the definition of tiny, they call them one inch to sound impressive but they’re usually 9x12 millimeters. They’re slightly larger than a phone sensor but significantly smaller than an SLR or pro mirrorless sensor which leads to a ton of drawbacks, a “one inch” sensor is even significantly smaller than micro four thirds.

[@GeorgesCamerasTV]

As much as we'd love every camera to be a G1x MK III and have an APS-C in a compact, one inch is still good for compacts!

[@MorkusReX]

E 1" is not slightly larger than cell phone sensors. It's roughly 5-6 times larger.

[@johnwbailey8940]

That's the same thing that was said when 35mm cameras came out. "Miniature cameras, such low resolution. Better to lug around an 8 by 10 and tripod." One inch is a hell of a lot bigger than the sensor in phone cams. The cameras that take most pictures and videos today.
