About the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS45 (Lumix DMC-TZ57)
The Lumix DMC-ZS45, sold in some markets as the DMC-TZ57, was released in January 2015 as a compact travel zoom. Its 1/2.33-type CMOS sensor delivers about 16 megapixels, and the 20x optical zoom runs from 24 to 480 mm in 35mm-equivalent terms, with an aperture of F3.3-6.4.
That range covers wide landscapes through to distant details, which is the main appeal for holidays and family outings. The body measures 108 x 60 x 32 mm and weighs 249 g, so it fits a coat pocket without much fuss. A 3-inch monitor handles framing. The camera uses a lithium-ion battery charged over USB, and images are saved to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards.
Buying one used
Make sure the lithium-ion battery and USB charger are included and that the battery holds a charge. Extend the 20x lens fully for wobble or grit, and check the 3-inch monitor and SD slot.
