Panasonic LUMIX ZS300 DC-ZS300K Black
With a 20.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor, 4K video, and Eye AF, it delivers reliable autofocus and low-light detail in a compact body. The standout zoom lens captures distant subjects clearly, though it lacks stabilization and a tilting display. Best for beginners and travel photographers who need a lightweight 340g camera with long reach and straightforward 4K shooting, but not for event work.
