Hands-on with Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 / TZ200
(Digital Photography Review)
 


Hands-on with Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 (TZ200) The Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 is a powerful, pocketable travel zoom compact camera, with an impressively long lens. We`ve had our hands on one - click through for a closer look. 20MP 1`-type sensor The ZS200 is built around the same 1` 20MP BSI-CMOS sensor as its predecessor the ZS100, which immediately makes it a cut above traditional superzooms that sacrificed (among other thing) sensor size for lens reach. 15X optical zoom lens The ZS200 scores over its predecessor in a few ways, but the most obvious upgrade is to the lens. While the ZS100`s zoom range of 25-250mm was pretty good, the ZS200 turns things up to 11, spanning a much wider range, of 24-360mm (equiv). Comprising 13 elements in six groups, this complex lens contains three extra low-dispersion elements and five aspherical, plus one that`s both extra low-disperson and aspherical. That`s pretty impressive for such a small camera. Also updated compared to the ZS100 is minimum focus, which has been reduced to 3cm from 5cm (at 24mm equiv). Distortion at such a close distance (and at such a wide focal length) will be pretty wild, but for flowers, bugs and other organic subjects, it should be fine. 15X optical zoom lens The extra zoom range doesn`t come free though, and at F3.3-6.4, the ZS200`s lens is slightly slower across its focal length span than its predecessor (shown above, on the left). The longer lens contributes to a slightly greater bodyweight, too. The ZS200 weighs 340g with a card and battery installed, compared to 310g for the ZS100. This side-by-side shot shows off our ZS200`s `gunmetal` finish. Not quite gray, not quite silver, we think it looks rather nice. Good old black will still be an option when the camera ships next month. 4K video The ZS200 offers 4K video recording at 30p and 24p. Familiar 4K Photo features like Post Focus are available, in addition to a co ...
