| Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ80 in Compact Cameras
The Panasonic Lumix TZ80 is an update to the TZ70, which is the number one seller in the Super Zoom Camera category, and the new TZ80 features a new 18 megapixel sensor, as well as the same 30x optical zoom lens, and electronic viewfinder.
Read our full Panasonic Lumix TZ80 review here.
Panasonic has said that by using the latest sensor technology, they can give as good image quality as the TZ70 which has a 12 megapixel sensor, despite the higher pixel count.
The Panasonic Lumix TZ80 updates the TZ70, which is the Number 1 seller in super zoom cameras.
The TZ80 is also the first compact camera with 4K video / photo / post focus, and as the sensor is larger than camcorder sensors, the camera is said to deliver better video quality. The Panasonic Lumix TZ80 will have a RRP of £359, and will be available to purchase mid February 2016.
