  • Sharp Pictures at 30X hand held!
Style: ZS50K Set: Camera
I am on day 3 of using this camera and I love it. I took a 3-hour hike yesterday shooting all the way, and have really gotten to know it. I downloaded all the shots last night and am really happy with them. The amazing thing is how sharp the 30X pictures are when hand held. I’ve attached a pic that I took at 30X and I hope Amazon saves the full resolution, because it shows the crispness of the detail possible in a hand held 30X pic. It’s due to the well-designed image stabilization, and great sensor, (and great optics). Because the image stabilization is so good even through the viewfinder, it is not hard to compose the long-range shots—the viewfinder image is not jerky even at 30X. Some people say they don’t need a 30X zoom, they say that it’s a just a gimmick or only needed for long nature shots. But even if you are simply taking pictures on the street, when you are looking for great shots, it’s amazing the variety of new subjects you can obtain simply because you can reach further from where you are standing. Go for the long zoom, you will use it constantly. Battery life if very long. I took 140 shots yesterday, and the battery was still at 3 full bars afterward. I did buy the BM extra battery kit shown on this amazon page ($19) just in case. The EFV (electronic view finder) is also a main reason to get this camera. I wear reading glasses (reluctantly) and I hate having to put them on every time I want to take a shot. With other cameras, and with my iPhone 7, I’d have to fumble my reading glasses out of my pocket for each shot. With a good EFV like this, you don’t need to do that. Rather, just set the diopter focus once to match your eyes, and you can leave your reading glasses behind. The EFV on this camera is as good as ones on much more expensive cameras. Smaller of course, but very good. Controls: I’ve owned a lot of high-end cameras, and this is my simplest yet. If you stick to Ai mode, this is a simple point-and-shoot camera. But there is a lot of depth below the surface with all the extra settings that are possible. I also own a Lumix DMC-FZ2500, and the power of this smaller camera is comparable in many ways. Of course, this ZS50 camera is more limited than that amazing (but huge) FZ2500 camera; but for on-the-go shots, the ZS50 has all I need. I especially like the manual focus ring, it’s useful for some closeup shots where you want to carefully pick what’s in focus. Also regarding controls, even if you primarily want a point and shoot camera, I do recommend you learn the other settings for this camera (study the manual). That’s because, as many reviewers here have said, the powerful controls are easy to change in your pocket without knowing you did it. So it’s helpful to be able to identify what setting you put it in accidentally, so you can put it back to where you want it. I just take a quick glance at the upper left corner of the screen/viewfinder before each new set of shots; that tells me if I jiggled the controls or not. Size and weight: this camera fits easily in the front pocket of my blue jeans. Very light. I’ve had even smaller cameras, (my 20-year-old Canon PowerShot Elph for example), and if all you want is a tiny and simple point and shoot you might do better with something that size and power. But with the extra power this camera has, I can’t imagine controlling it in a smaller form factor. The camera powers up very quickly, which is good if you are on the go and pulling the camera in and out of your pocket for quick shots. I initially considered getting one of the newer models in this line (ZS60, ZS70), those with a 20M image capacity (and 4K video), but after my research I feel I picked the right model with the ZS50. If you read all the reviews of this camera here on Amazon, you will read from a number of people who tried out the newer models and found the image quality to be worse on the newer ones, and came back to this one. I think that must be due to the sensor. By now you know Panasonic used a lower pixel density sensor on this camera, which means each pixel is larger at the fixed sensor size of this line. I suspect that’s what makes the difference. I have cameras with much higher pixel density, but I don’t miss them. At 12.1M, this camera is perfect for me since I usually only view the image on a screen. The biggest images I display from it are on a 4K image wall-mounted TV. That requires a 9M sized image so the match is great. If I were cropping images in Photoshop and actually printing large photos from them, I’d use a camera with a higher pixel density. By the way, like many Lumix cameras, you can digital zoom beyond the 30X optical limit, but I tried that and the pics I took with that were not sharp. Stick with the optical 30X zoom. So to wrap it up, I needed a good pocket camera that was simple but had lots of hidden power, had an EFV, and a high-quality long zoom, and this is it. And by the way, since it’s a two-year old model, today’s price is great too. ... show more

  • Nice Zoom Range and Viewfinder, Low-Light Performance Disappoints
Style: ZS50K Set: Camera
For some perspective: I shoot photos professionally, with micro four thirds cameras and pretty high quality lenses. I have a lot of experience shooting in low-light settings. I planned to attend a concert at which no "professional" cameras were allowed. I have smuggled my good camera into similar venues - it's not fun, but i get good shots, and I see nothing ethically wrong with this given that photos are allowed (cell phones all over the place); one venue once thanked me on Facebook for sharing my photos, and I pointed out that they were only possible because I had ignored their ban on "detachable lens cameras." However, my upcoming concert was a bucket-list concert for me; I did not want to risk ejection, and I wanted to be sure to get photos. Various online reviews of point-and-shoot (i.e., non-professional) cameras good for low-light setting (even with stage lighting, concerts are typically not well lighted) suggested that this camera was a good one. Its zoom range is impressive, it has a viewfinder that provides a good image, and it can be used in various modes, including fully manual, which is important to me. I bought it. The low-light performance was disappointing to me. Maximum ISO is 6400. This setting produced very noisy images, with some yellow discoloration in shadows. My MFT cameras can get much higher quality images at an ISO of 10,000, and can shoot even higher if I am willing to accept a lot of noise. I prefer to shoot raw, and eliminate noise in post-processing. With my ISO 6400 shots from the concert the jpeg produced by the camera had better noise reduction than I could achieve by processing the raw file -- the camera's algorithm did a good job of noise reduction. However, this algorithm eliminated detail--it's not unusual to sacrifice detail to reduce noise, but this was a big loss of detail. I present several images, all labeled. All were uploaded as 800x640 jpegs. The jpeg straight from the camera does not look bad, until you examine an enlargement -- the loss of detail is apparent. The raw straight out of the camera (of course processed somewhat as all raw images must be in order to be seen; I use Raw Therapee) shows that more detail was captured, but you can also see the noise. i present two additional images - a raw processed to reduce noise to a tolerable(?) level and yet still retain detail, and the same image converted to black/white, which many people view as more appealing when there is noise. The yellow discoloration is apparent in all of the color images; I find it quite unpleasant. You be the judge. In fairness to the camera, i did not expect its images to match the quality of those produced by my MFT. The Lumix's cost is about 1/8 the cost of the camera and lens combination that i would have selected to shoot this concert. For a point-and-shoot it created passable images in this challenging setting, and in normal daylight settings its images are quite nice. Its zoom worked very well, with the image stabilization doing what it needed to do (this image was shot at ISO 6400, 1/160 sec, f/5.6, with the lens zoomed to 47.5 mm - approximately a 267mm 35mm-equivalent with the ZS50's 5.62 crop factor). As some others have noted, the viewfinder is at the upper left corner of the camera (seen from the rear) which seems like it's the wrong place - I expect it to be centered over the lens - but you'll get used to it. In summary, it's a nice camera - I like the viewfinder, the zoom range, and the image stabilization. Compared to a much more expensive camera its low-light setting was not great, but it did its job. ... show more
