Camera Overview — Panasonic DC-ZS200

The Panasonic LUMIX DC-ZS200 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 20MP, 1-inch sensor paired with the Venus Engine image processor. It covers an ISO range of 125 to 12800, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera captures stills at up to 5472x3648 resolution and can burst shoot at 10 frames per second — a strong spec for a camera in this category.

On the video side, it records up to 4K with frame rate options including 24fps, 30fps, 60fps, and 120fps at 8-bit color depth, and offers color profiles such as Standard, Vivid, Natural, Monochrome, L.Monochrome, Scenery, Portrait, and Custom for both photo and video. Autofocus relies on a Contrast Detection and Panasonic DFD system with 49 selectable points, Face Detection AF, and subject tracking. The camera features a 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen at 1,240,000 dots resolution, plus a 0.21-inch electronic viewfinder resolving 2,330,000 dots at 60Hz — a rare inclusion for a compact.

Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and Micro HDMI output. The body is constructed from a metal and polycarbonate composite, measures 111.2 x 66.4 x 45.2 mm, and weighs 340g. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the DMW-BLG10PP battery is rated for approximately 370 shots per charge.
