Conclusion

Lenses – Should have no marks on the elements andoptically clear. There may be light dust present that will not effect theimagery. It’s appealing to both entry-level users and those with a little more experience. The full-range of automatic modes, along with scene and creative modes are likely to appeal to beginners, while shooting in raw format and taking full manual control is something enthusiasts are likely to be drawn to. Other notable features of the Lumix DC-TZ90 include a variety of shooting modes, such as panorama and time-lapse, as well as built-in image stabilization for steady and blur-free shots. The camera is powered by a rechargeable battery that provides a decent battery life for extended use. Image quality appears to be a little better than the TZ80, but it’s still a little disappointing when shooting in lower light conditions. If you use ISO 1600, you’ll see that details start to become a little smudgy while the introduction of noise can be problematic. If your main use for this camera is as a travel one in mainly sunny conditions, you might not be too worried, but if you’re likely to want to use it in a lot of dark conditions, you should think about something with a larger sensor (such as Panasonic’s own TZ100, which has a one-inch sensor).

Being able to record 4K video, and also the 4K Photo modes is something which is likely to appeal to quite a few different people too. The tilting touch-sensitive screen is super handy for selfies, while the viewfinder is there if you need it, if not to be used all the time. In good light, the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90 is capable of producing some beautiful images. Colours have a good amount of warmth and saturation without going too over the top, while the detail rendered at lower ISOs is impressive. Using Wi-Fi you can connect your smartphone to the camera, and with the Panasonic Image App which is available for Android and iOS, you can remotely control and shoot with the camera, transfer images, add geotag GPS location data to shots, record a snap movie as well as create a photo collage. When shooting using the app, you can use the touchscreen of your smartphone to set the focus point, and you can change a wide number of options and settings without having to reach for the camera.
