The Panasonic Lumix TZ55 is a compact camera that is perfect for travel and capturing everyday moments. A powerful zoom lens is combined with pocket-sized portability to create a versatile camera that is small enough to take anywhere.

Outstanding image quality is delivered by a high-sensitivity 16.1 megapixel MOS sensor. Photos are vibrant, detailed and feature true-to-life colour reproduction while Full HD movies can be utilised to capture scenes with razor-sharp clarity.

The proven Venus image processing engine offers a lightning-fast 10 fps continuous burst mode to help capture the decisive moment in fast moving action scenarios. The engine also provides a broad ISO100 - ISO6400 range for low-noise results across a broad range of lighting conditions.

The image processor also equips you with Panasonic’s advanced Intelligent Auto mode for point-and-shoot simplicity plus a raft of pre-set scene modes and creative filters to help kick-start your creativity.

A 24mm ultra-wide angle lens and powerful 20x optical zoom can be utilised in both photo and video mode, equipping you to capture a diverse range of subjects from sweeping landscapes to up-close portraits and sports action. Great for travel, the 35mm equivalent 24-480mm lens equips you with the ability to shoot a diverse range of photos without compromising on framing or image quality. For an even greater reach, Panasonic’s Intelligent Zoom technology can be utilised to provide the equivalent of 40x magnification with minimal deterioration in picture quality.

The impressive zoom is complemented by Panasonic’s POWER O.I.S (Optical Image Stabiliser) which minimises camera shake to produce sharp, blur-free images and silky smooth video. The image stabilisation system is especially useful at the telephoto end of the zoom and in low-light environments where it helps produces sharper images with less noise.

Image composition is a joy thanks to the generous 3-inch 460k-dot monitor. Its unique design features a 180° flip-up screen that allows you to compose ‘selfies’ before actually taking the shot. The flip-up screen and ultra-wide angle lens combine to make it ideal to shoot group shots and self-portraits without a tripod.

Built-in WiFi allows you to quickly and easily transfer your images to compatible iOS and Android devices via the free Panasonic Image App. Using the app it’s easy to save, send or share your memories with friends, family and your favourite social networks. The app also challenges your creativity by doubling as a wireless live-view monitor allowing you to view and shoot remotely.

With its built-in flash, powerful zoom and ability for the battery to be recharged via USB in-camera, the Panasonic DMC-TZ55 saves you from requiring bulky power cords and chargers, making it the perfect travel companion.
