Panasonic LUMIX ZS300 DC-ZS300K Negro 2026
A 15x Leica optical zoom covering 24–360mm and a 20.1MP 1-inch BSI-CMOS sensor deliver sharp distant details and strong low-light performance in a pocketable body. 4K video and 30fps 4K Photo modes capture fleeting moments, while in-body stabilization and a built-in flash ensure clear results without blur. This camera suits travel photographers and concertgoers who need long reach in venues where interchangeable-lens cameras are restricted.
