Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-ZS100

The Panasonic LUMIX ZS100 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 20MP 1-inch sensor, offering a meaningful step up in image quality compared to smaller-sensor compacts. The camera records 4K video at up to 30fps and Full HD at up to 60fps, giving videographers solid flexibility in a pocketable body. For stills shooters, a burst mode capable of 10 frames per second makes it capable of capturing fast-moving subjects.

The ISO range runs from 125 to 12800, providing a reasonable spread for varying lighting conditions. Autofocus relies on a contrast detection system with 49 focus points, though eye tracking and subject tracking are not available. The 3-inch LCD touchscreen resolves at 1,040,000 dots, and an electronic viewfinder at 1,166,000 dots with a 60Hz refresh rate gives shooters an alternative framing option.

Optical image stabilization is on board, complemented by digital IS. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, USB, and Micro HDMI output, while storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The body measures 111 x 65 x 44mm and weighs 312g, and battery life is rated at approximately 300 shots per charge.

Weather sealing is not present on this model.
