Review on Photo camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100/TZ100, silver by Dorota Mackiewicz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

I got the camera primarily for excursions and treks because I'm sick of carrying a DSLR up mountains. It does not appear to be a "soap box," which I am willing to forgive a lot, but it does not convince me that it can replace a DSLR, even with one lens. Overall though, I'm more than happy with this camera. different benefits 1. A godsend for a tourist or traveler who is tired of lugging a DSLR through the mountains but dissatisfied with photos from the phone or soapbox is an inch matrix, a 10x zoom with a very good range (EGF 25-250 mm), and all this in a compact case is not much larger than an ordinary "digital camera." 2. Outstanding stub. It is impressive when using an EGF 250 mm to record video and the image does not shake. 3. Good in-camera JPEG means that shooting in RAW isn't always necessary. 4. For such a matrix, noise at short exposures is tolerable up to ISO 1600, which is excellent. But, everything is far worse with slow shutter speeds; he discusses this in the "disadvantages" section. 5. Excellent video, even in dim lighting. 6. You can control the zoom more precisely than you can with the lever thanks to an additional ring on the lens. 7. Numerous options for changing control assignments and shooting parameters. 8. There is very little distortion and aberration. 9. Even though 8.4 V batteries are required, it can be charged via USB. 10. Executing time-lapse correctly. 11. Viewfinder and display are both bright and clear, and they automatically switch to the viewfinder when it is brought up to the eye. 12. Quick WiFi file transfers and easy smartphone camera control. Cons of it: 1. As soon as I picked up the camera, I noticed the first flaw: an uncomfortable grip. The handle's protrusion is minuscule, and it is also made entirely of bare metal without any anti-slip padding. a humiliating win for design over ergonomics. It is unclear what prevented the manufacturer from making the protrusion flush with the size of the retracted lens, which would have allowed for the installation of a larger battery. 2. In the entire FR range, the diaphragm cannot be clamped more than eight times. This severely reduces the depth of field while shooting at medium and large FRs and prevents you from sharpening the foreground and background. This drawback may have something to do with the lens's diffraction limit, but it doesn't make it any less of a drawback. 3. The lens lathers noticeably at the long end, but this is to be expected given the FR range; miracles are rare and a tenfold zoom comes at a price. 4. The camera does not have noise issues during brief exposures. Nevertheless, on lengthy ones (tens of seconds), everything is depressing and there is already a lot of noise at ISO 250. 5. When shooting handheld, built-in HDR incorrectly collects the image and fails to combine object contours. And this at a time when even phones and soap dishes are capable of handling this job! Forced switching to an electronic shutter helps to mitigate the situation just a little. DD is not significantly increased by HDR alone. 6. Auto metering can easily overexpose a scene. Exposure compensation must be entered continuously. 7. The white balance of the screen and viewfinder is very different. Settings won't make this go away. 8. There are too many pointless "whistles" on the camera menu. 9. The menu's terrible russification. It is preferable to switch to English right away. 10. Although installing filters on the lens is not offered, for that amount of money I would like to have the chance. 11. The AF illuminator shines to the side rather than in the center of the frame. 12. The exposure lock cannot be turned off when the shutter button is only partially depressed. 13. Even at a low resolution, there is no normal slow motion (slow-mo).
