Lumix 1 Inch MOS Sensor 20.1 Megapixels Travel Zoom Digital Camera

DC TZ220

Overview

Although it’s a relatively minor update, Panasonic has improved its latest travel zoom camera, the TZ220, which is being released this month. There’s a new, Leica-branded lens with a longer zoom range (albeit with a reduction in lens speed), a higher-resolution EVF and a sizeable (70-shot) increase in battery capacity to tempt potential buyers. The TZ220 also supports USB charging. All this, and the camera remains jacket-pocketable.

Since its introduction in February 2006, the TZ series has been popular as a traveller’s camera because of its small size, light weight and long zoom lenses. The latest model has the longest reach so far in a pocketable camera with a 1-inch type sensor.

Like the TZ110  that precedes it, the new camera is being offered in black or silver plus black and is supplied with a DMW-BLG10E battery pack, an AC Adaptor, USB Cable, Hand Strap and Strap Adaptor for attaching an optional neck strap.

A basic printed manual is provided but the main manual must be downloaded from the Panasonic Lumix Customer Support Site. No software disk is included so any software needed must also be downloaded from Panasonic’s website.

Who’s it For?

TZ series cameras are designed primarily for   travellers but  they’re equally suitable for anyone looking for a versatile ‘go-anywhere’ camera that offers more picture-taking functions and better image quality than a typical smartphone. In an area not short of competition, the new TZ220’s updates enable it to equal or better similar cameras from other manufacturers.

Some caution is advised before you hand over your hard-earned cash: the longer zoom lens is roughly 1/3 of a stop slower than the lens in the TZ110. Since cameras in this category generally select the widest lens aperture in any of the auto modes (including P), it may influence depth of field and low-light performance.

Build and Ergonomics

 Save for the new lens, the body of the new camera is almost identical to the TZ110 and made from metal and composite plastic. A new rubber grip, which has been added to the front of the camera and makes it much easier to handle. A companion is provided in the form of a small thumb grip just below the rear dial.

Features
