Camera Overview — Panasonic DC-ZS200D
Key Features — Panasonic DC-ZS200D
20MP 1-Inch Sensor: Larger than typical compact camera sensors, the 1-inch type delivers better dynamic range and low-light performance in a pocketable body.
5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S.: Combines optical and digital image stabilization across five axes for steadier handheld shots, especially useful at long focal lengths or in low light.
2,330,000-Dot EVF: A high-resolution electronic viewfinder at 60 Hz is an uncommon feature at this class of camera, giving a clear framing alternative to the rear screen.
4K Video Recording: Records 4K footage at 24p and 30p, plus Full HD at up to 60fps, offering meaningful video versatility for a travel compact.
30fps 4K Photo Mode: Captures bursts at up to 30 fps by extracting 8MP stills from 4K footage, helping secure sharp images of fast-moving subjects.

Description — Panasonic DC-ZS200D
The Panasonic LUMIX DC-ZS200D pairs a 1-inch, 20MP sensor with the Venus Engine image processor in a body measuring just 111.2 x 66.4 x 45.2 mm and weighing 340g — compact enough to fit in a jacket pocket without sacrificing serious capability. The 5-axis Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), which combines in-body IS and digital IS, helps keep shots sharp when shooting handheld. For focusing, the camera uses a Contrast Detect AF and DFD (Depth From Defocus) system across 49 focus points with subject tracking enabled.
Burst shooting reaches 10 fps with the mechanical shutter, 6 fps with continuous AF, and 30 fps in 4K Photo mode. Video tops out at 4K (24p, 30p) and Full HD (60p, 30p, 24p). The 2,330,000-dot electronic viewfinder runs at 60 Hz, complemented by a 3.0-inch Touchscreen LCD at 1,240,000 dots.
A built-in pop-up flash, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI output, and USB connectivity complete the feature set, with storage via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. The DMW-BLG10 battery is rated for 370 shots per charge.
