Panasonic LUMIX DC-TZ90EB-K 30x Travel Zoom Camera - Black

Product Information

Sometimes, harsh sunlight makes even the brightest camera screens difficult to see. The Lumix TZ90 features a 0.2-inch 1,166k-dot Electronic viewfinder which automatically turns on when you lift the camera to your eye, so you can see every detail and capture the shot you're looking for. Ultra High Speed focusing Max. 4x (When Digital Zoom is used simultaneously with Intelligent Zoom, you can only increase the zoom ratio up to 2x.) x 1080 pixels, 50p (FHD: 28Mbps / AVCHD) (Sensor Output is 50fps) (Dolby)/1920 x 1080 pixels, 50i (FHD: 24Mbps / AVCHD) (Sensor Output is 25fps) (Dolby)/1920 x 1080 pixels, 50i (FHD: 17Mbps / AVCHD) (Sensor Output is 50fps) (Dolby)/1920 x 1080 pixels, 60p (FHD: 28Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 60fps) (AAC)/1920 x 1080 pixels, 50p (FHD: 28Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 50fps) (AAC)/1920 x 1080 pixels, 30p (FHD: 20Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 30fps) (AAC)/1920 x 1080 pixels, 25p (FHD: 20Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 25fps) (AAC)/1280 x 720 pixels, 30p (HD: 10Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 30fps) (AAC)/1280 x 720 pixels, 25p (HD: 10Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 25fps) (AAC) Photo is an innovative system which is useful for extracting stills of fast moving subjects. However, it’s fair to say that it works best with Panasonic’s larger sensor cameras, such as its range of compact system cameras. With the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90, even when shooting in bright light, the extracted stills can look a little smudgy.

Capture even the fastest moving action thanks to Depth From Defocus technology. It instantly calculates the distance to the subject by evaluating two images with different sharpness levels, and achieves ultra-high-speed AF and 5fps burst shooting with AF Continuous. 10fps burst shooting with AF Siangle is also available. Panasonic TZ90 Silver Compact Camera Features in Detail Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 Compact Digital Camera Silver Specifications The lens covers a 30x optical zoom range that’s equivalent to 24-720mm in 35mm terms, and is accompanied by five-axis Hybrid O.I.S. technology to help keep things stable at longer focal lengths and in low light. With the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 it is possible to record videos in 4K. But that's not all: like other models in this series, it offers the option of using the Photo 4K mode. This consists of the possibility to choose a frame from a video recorded at 30fp and save it as an 8 megapixel image. Add to this the 180° tilting screen and the result is the ability to take high resolution selfies. 30x Optical Zoom As for more direct competitors on the market, there’s the Canon PowerShot SX730. That camera offers longer reach in the form of a 40x optical zoom, but, it doesn’t have 4K video, a viewfinder, the ability to shoot in raw format, or a touch-sensitive screen.The zoom feature of this Panasonic device is quite interesting. In addition to the aforementioned optical zoom, it has a 60x digital zoom, which, despite the loss of quality, can be very useful. The lens is the 24 mm Leica DC Vario-Elmar, and the sensor is a 20.3 megapixel MOS. For certain types of compositions, the built-in viewfinder, a 0.2-inch, 1,166-dot LVF, will be particularly useful. The screen, on the other hand, is a 3-inch LCD. Compact Design and Affordable Price Use a card with SD Speed Class with "UHS-I Speed Class 3 (U3)" when recording motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K] or [4K PHOTO]. (SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.)

The Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 is a compact point-and-shoot camera that is known for its impressive zoom capabilities. This camera is equipped with a Leica lens that has a 30x optical zoom, which allows users to capture subjects from a distance. Additionally, the lens is paired with Optical Image Stabilisation, which reduces the impact of camera shake, resulting in sharper photos. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB.

Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting. On the front of the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 is a rubberised grip to help it feel comfortable in your hand - you can use it to hold onto the camera while your forefinger rests on the top of the camera over the shutter release. This camera has an amazing specification (on paper) and I was seduced by Panasonic's promise of it being "The ideal travelogue camera" offering "crisp details". The reality was so disappointing.....

Auto / Daylight / Cloudy / Shade / Incandescent / Flash / White Set1 / White Set2 / White Set3 / White Set4 / Color Temperature/(2-axis adjustable) The top of the camera also sees a zoom switch around the shutter release, which feels reasonably sturdy. There’s also the on/off button, and a video record button. Unfortunately because the video record button is roughly the same size as the on/off button, it can be quite easy to confuse the two if you’re not looking properly, leading to the odd accidental video on occasion.

Though many manufacturers have ditched the production of standalone digital compacts entirely at the time of writing, models to compare with the Panasonic Lumix TZ90 include the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS, which boasts a similar form factor but ups the focal range courtesy of a 40x optical zoom, as opposed to the ZS70’s 30x optical reach. However, both cameras share the same 20.3 megapixels 1/2.3-inch sensor specification, and both also deliver well saturated images that require either no, or just modest adjustment in the photo editor of your choice afterwards. x 2160 pixels, 30p (4K: 100Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 30fps) (AAC)/3840 x 2160 pixels, 25p (4K: 100Mbps / MP4) (Sensor Output is 25fps) (AAC) The Lumix DC-TZ90 also offers 4K video recording capabilities, enabling users to capture footage with exceptional clarity. It has a built-in electronic viewfinder, which provides a clear and accurate representation of the scene being photographed. The camera’s 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD display can be tilted upwards to facilitate selfie-taking and low-angle shooting.The sensor in this camera clearly suffers a dramatic increase in noise as soon as you move above ISO 80. By ISO 400/500 it's completely unacceptable (IMO). To compound matters the lens is pretty soft. I would definitely not describe it as crisp. Trying to correct for this combination of noise and soft focus in RAW processing is a recipe for disappointment. I really couldn't make a meaningful improvement on the jpeg shots. If you’re looking for a well-specced travel compact camera, then the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 arguably offers the best range of different features currently on the market. The 20.3-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor records high-quality images in remarkable detail. It also combines with the Venus Engine to take stunning pictures even in dimly lit environments with minimal image noise. Life in Vivid Detail There’s a whole host of other exciting and useful features for the TZ90. Create beautiful night shots using the Light Composition mode, while Creative Filters give your images (including panoramic shots) a fun, dramatic or artistic effect.
