Review on πŸ“· Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS25: 16.1 MP Compact Digital Camera with 20x Intelligent Zoom (Silver) - Unveiling the Classic Model by Johnathan Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent low light performance.

I've only been using this camera for a few days, but my top priorities have been better low light performance and more zoom than the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 I'm currently using. So far I haven't been disappointed. I shoot most of my shots indoors (birthdays, concerts, graduations, etc.) so bright, low-light shots are important to me. So far the results are not impressive. I couldn't believe how bright the pictures looked even without the flash. I took the same shots with the TZ3 and they came out dark and barely usable. I will post a comparison in the customer pictures section. The 20x zoom is amazing! And the detail at the end of the zoom range is wonderful. The ZS25 isn't as solidly built as the TZ3 tank, but it's also a lot lighter, which should be more comfortable to carry in my short cargo bag. I'm not a photographer, just someone who wants an easy to use auto aim and shoot that produces good photos. Looks like this ZS25 will serve me well.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
