ZS300 in Silver Finish and Lens Zoomed Out
So, you might have caught my earlier thoughts on the new Panasonic Lumix ZS300. To be totally honest, I’m still a bit bummed about it. Losing the viewfinder feels like a step backward compared to the older ZS200, which is a tough pill to swallow for gear nerds like me.
That said, I know it’s going to fly off the shelves. Why? Because it’s new, it will actually be in stock, and that combo of a 1-inch sensor with a massive 24-360mm zoom is basically the gold standard for a pocketable travel camera. It’s the kind of everyday carry that most brands have sadly given up on making lately.
But just because it’s the new kid on the block doesn't mean it's your only choice. Even with the shortage of compact cameras these days, there are still some fantastic gems out there that might actually suit your style better than the ZS300.
