The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ8 is an excellent camera for a variety of purposes, which does not have a targeted focus on a specific audience, therefore it is suitable for both women and men and can easily replace a traveling family camera.
Optics:
The camera is equipped with a wide-angle lens from LEICA, which has good sharpness and parameters: f/3.3 – f/4.9 with a not small 12X zoom (equivalent: 25-300mm). The optical system of the lens includes 10 elements in 8 groups, 2 extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses - which draw in additional light, as well as 2 aspherical lenses with 3 aspherical surfaces.
The device has an additional function Extra Optical Zoom, which allows you to zoom up to 21.4X at 3 MP resolution, using only the central part of the CCD, to photograph objects even closer without quality loss. A 4X digital zoom is also available. It is worth noting the new optical image stabilization system - POWER OIS, which perfectly corrects the scene, helping to keep the fixed focus clearly.
Matrix:
The camera has a 12-megapixel 1/2.33" CCD sensor that allows you to take high-resolution images of 4000x3000 pixels at ISO sensitivity from 80 to 1600. The camera can also take pictures simultaneously in three formats: 4:3, 3:2 or 16 :9, and after shooting, choose the one you like best.As is customary in such soapboxes, Panasonic designers have deprived the TZ8 of the ability to shoot in RAW format.
Video features:
Video capabilities are at a good level. Panasonic DMC-TZ8 can shoot in HD quality at a resolution of 1280x720 and 30 frames per second, using the H.264/AVC video compression format, accompanied by an audio track. The camera has a mini-HDMI port for synchronization with external display sources.
Display:
2.7 inch TFT touch screen displays 230,000 pixels. The intelligent LCD screen automatically analyzes the light level of the surrounding area, increasing the background light for comfortable viewing.
Among the interesting built-in software gadgets, it is worth noting the face recognition function, which allows you to automatically remember frequently photographed faces and assign data to them, while the device will select shooting modes for this object at the next session and automatically focus on it.
