Panasonic's entry travel-zoom compact — 16MP CCD, 10x 25-250mm Leica lens, 720p video, 2012.

Panasonic announced the Lumix DMC-SZ1 in January 2012 as the opening model of its new SZ line of slim, affordable travel-zoom compacts, sitting below the SZ5 and SZ7 and above the basic FS models. Unlike many Lumix compacts it carried the same SZ1 designation in all regions, and it was sold in black, silver, red, blue and violet finishes.

The SZ1 paired a 16.1-megapixel 1/2.33-inch CCD with a Leica DC Vario-Elmar 10x zoom covering a 25-250mm equivalent range at f/3.1-5.9, stabilised by Panasonic's optical image stabilisation. A 3.0-inch 230k-dot LCD handled framing, video was recorded at 720p in MP4 format, and autofocus used a 23-area contrast-detect system with face detection and tracking. The body measured roughly 99x59x21mm and weighed 131g with its proprietary rechargeable battery and SD-family card.

The SZ1 suited casual shooters and travellers who wanted a genuinely pocketable camera with a longer reach than a phone or standard compact of the day. Handling was simple and menu-driven with no manual exposure modes, so it rewards point-and-shoot use rather than deliberate control, and the small CCD limits low-light ability.

On the used market, check the proprietary Panasonic battery and charger are included, as replacements vary in quality. Confirm the long zoom extends and retracts smoothly without a lens error message, inspect the 3-inch screen for scratches, and test a card in the SD slot. CCD compacts of this era can develop sensor faults, so review sample images at full size before buying.
