Panasonic TZ is a classic of the genre of compact cameras from the Japanese brand of photographic equipment. The series combines models of the low-cost link with small matrices (1" and 1/2.3"), standard photo and video shooting capabilities, support for photographing in RAW format. The hobby of TZ digital compacts is pocket size and lightweight design.

Cameras from the Panasonic TZ cavalry bribe, first of all, with a large multiplicity of optical approximation — up to 30x. Translated into the equivalent of a full frame, they are shot in the focal length range from 24 to 720 mm. The Leica nameplate proudly flaunts on the "nose" of the non—removable objects of the compact series — the specialists of this famous German brand have put their hand to the development of optics for many Panasonic cameras.

Small, but remote Panasonic TZ compacts fit freely in a pocket, providing a decent multiplicity of optical approximation.

In the miniature case of Panasonic TZ compacts, they managed to embed an electronic viewfinder (with rare exceptions), cram in a wireless Wi-Fi communication module, and also many "babies" of the system were taught to shoot 4K video with a frame rate of 30 fps. Some of the modifications of the series in question for the American market have an alternative marking ZS.
