Panasonic’s perennial travel zoom – or ‘TZ’ – series of compact cameras has received an upgrade in the shape of the Lumix TZ95, which comes with a Leica branded 30x optical zoom lens, 20.3 MP resolution sensor and 4K video shooting capability. Of interest to long time followers of this range is the addition of a tilt-able 3-inch, 1040K-dot rear monitor, as well as brand new high resolution LVF (Live View Finder), that here is a teeny 0.21-inches in size, meaning you have to squint to view it. On such a small body with a touchscreen, one issue you encounter when using the viewfinder is that your nose can easily press the LCD and send the focusing point elsewhere. You can disable the Touch Pad AF feature to prevent this from happening, but then you also lose the luxury of using this feature to adjust the AF point with the touchscreen when you're looking through the viewfinder.

However, if you’re operating the camera in a darkened environment, like a concert hall or theatre, the proximity of the main power and video buttons means that it is easy to mistake one for the other and turn the camera off when you actually meant to start recording. Again, familiarity with the camera over time helps such mistakes to be avoided. Commendably this Panasonic is swift to power up in any event, being ready for action in around two seconds, its lens extending from its position flush to the body to arrive at its extreme wide-angle 24mm equivalent setting. Up until recently, standalone compact cameras like the TZ95 have been increasingly thin on the ground. But now some manufacturers have decided that cameras with built-in lenses could be somewhat re-purposed as tools for the new wave of content creators – see alternatives including the Sony ZV-1, ZV-1 II, and ZV-1F - and Canon’s quirky PowerShot V10– While the built-in flash here is welcome for when we absolutely must have extra illumination, unfortunately it’s been placed in a position at the top of the handgrip which means a stray finger will partially obscure it when it fires. On a more positive note, for sports or action photography fans wanting to make use of that zoom, the ZS80 is capable of a 10fps capture rate in AF-S mode or 5fps in AF-C mode. Versus

Is a big zoom on a small camera over-egging the pudding or capably fulfilling demand? Read on to find out... Always-on' Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi connectivity have also been thrown in, and these allow you to both send images wirelessly to your device and control the camera remotely. The Lumix DC-TZ95D has a focal length of between 24mm and 720mm thanks to the 30x optical zoom. What size is the Lumix DC-TZ95D?

Of course the biggest draw here, the one that will tempt you away from your smartphone, is the 30x optical zoom. With 24-720mm on offer, it’s well suited to travelling situations where you might be faced with a range of different subjects. Push the power on button and you’ll see that the fairly large lens protrudes heftily far from the body, getting even longer as you zoom in. The screen is touch sensitive, to a degree, though as there are also plentiful physical controls ranged alongside it that provide much the same functions, we didn’t find ourselves utilising its touch sensitivity that much. We did however enjoy the fact that the EVF (or, as Panasonic prefers, LVF) has an eye sensor alongside it, which deactivates the larger LCD and switches on the EVF as you bring an eye up to it. There is also a dedicated ‘LVF’ (live view finder) button that lets you disable this feature if required, or switch between screens manually. For [4K] video output, use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo on it, and that is described as"4K compatible".

With smartphones putting in more impressive performances these days, you’re going to have to think long and hard about whether a dedicated camera such as this is right for you. Still, if you don’t have an advanced smartphone, or zooming is what you crave, it remains a good option. The model also offers the same battery life as before, which is 380 frames (according to CIPA measurement). That's perfectly decent for a camera of this sort, and way ahead of some competitors.TFT Screen LCD Display (1040k dots), Tiltable monitor/Static Touch Control/Field of View: Approx. 100%, AF Coating
