PanasonicLUMIX DC-TZ99E-K Compact Travel Zoom Camera, LEICA DC Lens, 30x Zoom, 20.3MP, 4K 30p Video, Tiltable Monitor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Black

I'm a novice camera user and wanted a camera I could use for distance shots. Point and zoom, basically. This camera does that and it's compactness was perfect for me. Whilst not all the pictures turned out as well as I would have liked, I'll put that down to user error and not yet reading the manual. I can't speak to the battery life, as I didn't use the camera often, due to the rainy weather at the location, but I'm happy with the camera quality overall. I was surprised that the price did not include a case, but it's been many years since I last bought a camera so, maybe, I should have remembered to lower my expectations. I bought one separately.

Great quality compact, many, many features (most of which I will probably never use!) but works very well on auto and feels nice and solid construction. Great optical zoom capability, with extra digital zoom if needed. Flip screen is nice and clear. Battery charges 'in camera' via USB, so no need to remove it (unlike my previous camera)

This camera is well made and has all the features I need, I particularly love the fact that you can charge the battery while it's inside the camera I've also seen some of the comments complaining about the absence of a viewfinder but I have not used one since 2001 mostly because I always have compact cameras and they're too small for a viewfinder to be used comfortably If it's a deal breaker for you I would look at a more professional camera instead.

Bit disappointed compared with TZ70 which this replaced,because of a broken screen. No view finder and very flimsy plastic compartment cover. Same problem when on full zoom,needs a tripod, and picture quality is awful which can be cleaned up with Photoshop if you have it. Disappointed because of the high cost, expected better!

Really pleased with the zoom and quality of shots from this camera, easy to use from the start. Couple of shots below showing the quality/distance of zoom. Image one shows how far from the stage we were standing, image 2 image capture at full zoom

Not well thought out. Poor positioning of flash, covered by hand when using/No evf/touch screen only flips up, useless for street photography/ returned for refund.

There is no battery charger or cable included and they are not easy to source so the camera is unusable

Very complicated for a novice
