Lumix TZ300

A revival of Panasonic's well-regarded 1-inch travel compact — the same larger sensor and Leica 15x zoom formula, but the EVF from the 2018 original is gone this time round, a real step down for anyone who used it. Still a genuinely capable pocket camera for travel.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
