I’m deadly serious about my photography. So when top-quality image capture is the order of the day, you’re likely to see me out and about with an interchangeable lens camera and a supporting cast of award-winning lenses. But that doesn’t mean I’m averse to a bit of fun, and a flashy camera kit isn’t always the best fit. Fun times like family holidays, days out by the seaside, and jet-away mini-breaks set a different agenda.
Going back a few years for these sorts of situations, when I wanted a camera I could slip into a spare pocket, the Panasonic Lumix TZ100 was my weapon of choice. Nearly a decade ago, I felt it was one of the best travel cameras that money could buy. The combination of a relatively large 1-inch image sensor, 10x optical zoom range (25-250mm equivalent), and electronic viewfinder was a winning combination in my mind.
