Pocket Panasonic superzoom with 20x Leica zoom, GPS, and 24mm ultra-wide — capable travel compact at budget pricing.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS25, known as the TZ35 in Europe, is a pocket superzoom compact featuring a 20x Leica DC Vario-Elmar zoom covering 24-480mm equivalent with Power O.I.S. stabilisation. The ZS/TZ series represents Panasonic's flagship pocket travel zoom line with maximum telephoto reach in pocketable dimensions.
The 20x Leica-branded zoom provides serious telephoto reach from a genuinely pocketable camera, with the 24mm ultra-wide start ensuring comprehensive coverage for landscapes and interiors. The 16.1-megapixel MOS sensor with Venus Engine processing delivers functional image quality with natural colour output.
Build quality is compact metal construction designed for pocket carry despite the impressive zoom range. GPS geotagging records location data with images, and the 3-inch LCD provides clear viewing. Full HD 1080p video recording with stereo audio adds video capability.
The ZS25/TZ35 holds reasonable value on the used market as a capable pocket superzoom with genuine telephoto reach beyond smartphone capability. The Leica zoom, GPS, and HD video make it a practical travel camera where pocket portability is the primary requirement.
