For more information, you can\nread our coverage here\n.\nRecent Videos\nIt seems like Panasonic may be working on a new compact camera: the TZ300. Reddit user Radeon26\nposted a photo\nthat appears to show the upcoming camera, alongside a specs card that says it has a 20MP Type-1 sensor, a 24-360mm equiv. F3.3-6.4 lens and a macro mode for taking pictures of subjects as close as 3cm (1.2\") away.\nThe image came from a now-private video from a Polish creator, which we were able to watch before it was pulled. It appeared to show an official Panasonic event where the rest of the company's Lumix lineup, as well as other electronics, were being shown off.\nWhile we weren't able to get more information from the video than what's visible in the screenshot, we can probably do some informed speculation, given that the camera's name and design imply that it's a follow-up to the\nLumix DC-ZS200\/TZ200\nfrom 2018. That camera has the same sensor and lens specs, though is equipped with a microUSB port. It could be that, as with the\nLumix DC-ZS99 from last year\n, the company is releasing a mild update of the camera to add USB-C.\nOne thing we wouldn't like to see repeated from the DC-ZS99 refresh is the loss of an EVF, though the video being taken down makes it hard to scrub through frame by frame for any hint of one on the TZ300. But, given the sticker next to the camera that says \"Embargo Date 24 March 2026,\" it seems like we won't have to wait that long before there's an official announcement.\nHow does the well-honed GR formula work without color?\nSony turns its mid-line model into a powerful, Swiss Army knife of a camera.\nWe've taken a close look at Fujifilm's X-T30 III, its latest entry-level SLR-shaped mirrorless camera, with its latest processor and dial ethos.\nOur in-depth look at the S1RII, updated to discuss its video capabilities.\nWe put a USB 3.2, USB4 and Thunderbolt 5 drive head-to-head to see if photographers would benefit from upgrading their external storage.\n'What's the best mirrorless camera?' We're glad you asked.\nWhat’s the best camera for under $3000? This price point gives you access to some of the most all-round capable cameras available. Excellent image quality, powerful autofocus and great looking video are the least you can expect. We've picked the models that really stand out.\nWhat's the best camera for travel? Good travel cameras should be small, versatile, and offer good image quality. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for travel and recommended the best.\nWhether you’re just sharing clips with friends or you’re launching an online on-camera career, vlogging matters. We looked at cameras with selfie-friendly screens, wide-angle lenses, microphone inputs and great video quality, and selected the best.\nAround $1000 is increasingly becoming the entry point for modern interchangeable lens cameras. We look at what you can get for your money, and which we think is best.","attrs_markdown":"[Instagram](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dpreview) [TikTok](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dpreviewtv)

For more information, you can [read our coverage here](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0117907605\/panasonic-s-lumix-zs300-tz300-compact-is-disappointingly-familiar).*\n\nRecent Videos\n\nIt seems like Panasonic may be working on a new compact camera: the TZ300. Reddit user Radeon26 [posted a photo](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Lumix\/comments\/1rvjm1f\/new_lumix_tz300_leaked\/) that appears to show the upcoming camera, alongside a specs card that says it has a 20MP Type-1 sensor, a 24-360mm equiv. F3.3-6.4 lens and a macro mode for taking pictures of subjects as close as 3cm (1.2\") away.\n\nThe image came from a now-private video from a Polish creator, which we were able to watch before it was pulled. It appeared to show an official Panasonic event where the rest of the company's Lumix lineup, as well as other electronics, were being shown off.\n\nWhile we weren't able to get more information from the video than what's visible in the screenshot, we can probably do some informed speculation, given that the camera's name and design imply that it's a follow-up to the [Lumix DC-ZS200\/TZ200](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/reviews\/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs200-tz200) from 2018. That camera has the same sensor and lens specs, though is equipped with a microUSB port. It could be that, as with the [Lumix DC-ZS99 from last year](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/8943078360\/panasonic-g97-zs99-tz99-refresh-usb-c), the company is releasing a mild update of the camera to add USB-C.\n\nOne thing we wouldn't like to see repeated from the DC-ZS99 refresh is the loss of an EVF, though the video being taken down makes it hard to scrub through frame by frame for any hint of one on the TZ300. But, given the sticker next to the camera that says \"Embargo Date 24 March 2026,\" it seems like we won't have to wait that long before there's an official announcement.\n\nView Comments (144)\n\n## Comments\nAll (144)\n\nMost popular (15)\n\nEditors' picks (0)\n\nDPR staff (1)\n\nOldest first\n\n[![cosinaphile]()](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/6003155773)\n\n[cosinaphile](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/6003155773)\n\nwhat a tremendous let down.... if i didn't know better id think these cowardly companies like panasonic \\[ well all of them \\] are just treading water until they drown   \nfrom innovation withdrawal\n\nsad and stu pid , and does nothing to change my opinion that these corporations are   \nrun by clueless non photographer comittees and CEOs who are emotionally and intellectually divorced from the process and art of photography\n\na pathetic situation\n\nLike\n\n0\n\n2 weeks ago\\*[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=6137116943)\n\n[unhappymeal](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/8715831935)\n\nThe writing has been on the wall for a while now with Japanese consumer electronics. Sony sold a controlling stake in Bravia TVs to TCL. Panasonic has offloaded all manufacturing, sales, and distribution of their TVs to Skyworth.\n\nI suspect Canon, Sony, and maybe Fuji will be the last ones standing. Canon, because Professional and Consumer Imaging are a huge chunk of their business. Sony, because they need proof of concepts for their Semiconductor business and they have some fairly lucrative AP and broadcasting contracts. Fuji, because Instax continues to print money and the rest is a nice bonus.\n\nI expect DJI, Viltrox, and Xiaomi to continue to encroach into the traditionally Japanese consumer electronics space.\n\nLike\n\n0\n\n1 week ago\\*[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=7614796965)\n\n[h2k](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/1085981221)\n\nI wished they'd reduce the tele range somewhat in favour of brighter aperture and\/or less bulk.

I bought a spare just in case. In my book, the ZS99 and ZS200 didn't come close in value for money. There are many situations where I can't or don't want to bring my Sony mirrorless and zoom lens.

Is there any reason to consider these compact cameras while the iPhones continue to improve and innovate? IMO the next significant improvements will be better computer editing programs for iPhone Raw Images. Along such lines, the Bayer app that captures iPhone images in the closest version of \"RAW\" seems to be worthy of exploration.\n\nIf not already completed, IMO It would be both interesting and relevant for dpreview to evaluate various add on lenses for the iPhone camera. Comparison with the RAW files from such lenses when compared to RAW files of the same subjects from cameras similar to the Panasonic Lumix would be very interesting.\n\nLike\n\n0\n\n2 weeks ago[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=5023547299)\n\n[dwill23](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/0296358021)\n\nI posted something I'm likely going to get 'beat up' for....I want the same environmentally aware tech in my phone and shoot, and even mirrorless (with ability to turn it off of course).

What I don't understand is why they can't understand the massive advantages of using a viewfinder and the tendency of some of them to knock people who do. It's MUCH harder to hold a camera steady when it's not braced against your head as well as your arms; it's much harder to frame accurately when you are looking at something relatively small (a distant screen), compared to a viewfinder in which everything you see is what you will photograph; and gauging exposure and colour with something not screened from external light (assuming you can even see through the reflections) is vastly harder using a rear screen.\n\nEach to his\/her own but please don't pretend using a screen is much better and a viewfinder is redundant! It absolutely isn't.\n\nLike\n\n3\n\n2 weeks ago[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=5814105874)\n\n[![MrLynn]()](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/2756562169)\n\n[MrLynn](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/2756562169)\n\nI prefer an OPTICAL viewfinder.

Yes, of course, you can hold more steady pressing your elbows to your sides and camera to your face. You can also get a better shot with a huge fixed focal length lens mounted to a large sensor camera. Better yet, why not carry a huge tripod and shoot every shot from the tripod and bracket all exposures.\n\nThe purpose of this camera is to be a small easily portable camera, making it difficult to include every feature. Tradeoffs are needed to make the camera small. Look at the cell phone, it gives up not only the EVF but the lens too and still the vast majority of people find the pictures worth the tradeoffs.\n\nI doubt if a small camera like this even had an EVF, it would have an eye-cup that you could press into to steady the camera. An EVF on this little camera wouldn't even be as wide as your eyeball. That was my point, how good would the tiny EVF be, certainly not as good as those on ILC cameras.\n\nLike\n\n1\n\n2 weeks ago[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=0510024738)\n\n[![Poppamies]()](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/4445611737)\n\n[Poppamies](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/4445611737)\n\nPhone camera without EVF and small sensor=worth it cause its easy and effortless\n\nText message instead of quality phone discussion= less effort\n\nFast food instead of cooking= less effort\n\nFacts instead of understanding= less effort\n\nJpg instead of raw= less effort\n\nMany things these days are about not wanting to spend effort to get quality, so people turn to ai and ask stupid things like is a red colored car nicer than blue I can't put the effort to decide.\n\nLike\n\n2\n\n2 weeks ago[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=8531187294)\n\n[dwill23](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/0296358021)\n\nHave you ever used an SLR? or mirrorless?

I have seen many people out with new expensive gear composing 100% with the screen and not the viewfinder. I use my viewfinder on my ILC, but find the rear screen 100% perfect when shooting on my tiny compact. So, after you get the shot, you walk around looking through the viewfinder, because your glasses are in your pocket? I'd like to see that\\!\n\nWith sales volumes down, companies need broad appeal of their gear and I seriously doubt 99% of people would care about an EVF. Ever hand your camera to someone that didn't know to look in the viewfinder let alone press the back focus button? Companies trying to sell gear know what sells. Mass market appeal and high sales does not occur because they include every feature photo gear-heads want.\n\nLike\n\n1\n\n2 weeks ago\\*[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=8137319910)\n\n[deep7](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/5291162839)\n\nKonaMike: \"I seriously doubt 99% of people would care about an EVF\". Hahahahaha!! I think we can be comfortably sure that FAR more than 1% of people looking to buy a fairly serious camera with a significantly long lens would very much care about an EVF. We can be equally sure that you do not represent 99% of photographers either.\n\nI do get baffled on this site sometimes when a poster decides he\/she has the only point of view that matters, even when clear evidence suggests otherwise. Then I laugh when those people don't give up but get very excited pursuing their narrow and unimportant arguments.\n\nLet's put it another way. If the camera has a viewfinder, it won't lose any sales as a result. If it doesn't, it will lose plenty, despite your protests that a viewfinder is not important...\n\nLike\n\n2\n\n2 weeks ago[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=1690687975)\n\n[![Poppamies]()](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/4445611737)\n\n[Poppamies](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/4445611737)\n\nKona Mike, if Id be priviledged and well off enough in this world to be able to afford one and find it's worth it, you bet I'd carry it, I don't own things that I can't be arsed to use, that's too elitistic and snobbery for me.\n\nAlso you are a smart person please don't pretend you don't see my point by mentioning extreme examples.\n\nLike\n\n2\n\n2 weeks ago\\*[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=1970818385)\n\n[![cosinaphile]()](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/6003155773)\n\n[cosinaphile](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/6003155773)\n\nis this the\" stare at a cellphone\" slab generation warning the world of the dangers of evfs while staring at a 6 inch screen 14 hours a day?\n\nasking for a friend .... yes bringing my eye to an evf and pressing the shutter seems the most dangerous technological behavior just now ??\n\ni cant fight the smile coming over me just now\n\nLike\n\n1\n\n2 weeks ago[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=8485984204)\n\n[Kona Mike](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/9247044690)\n\nguess what, 100% of these cameras will sell to someone that is OK with not having an EVF.

Maybe it displays equivalent focal lengths in the user interface, but then it could just as easily display equivalent f-ratios and ISO settings as well. The actual f-ratio is an internal implementation detail with pretty much the same relevance as the actual focal length: you don’t set the aperture to f\/5 because you want the photo to have been taken “at f\/5” with the EXIF data to match; you set it because it achieves the visual effect you want.

The field of view can be different and the DOF will be different, but the exposure will be 100% exactly the same. f5.6 on 35mm is still f5.6, when the sensor is smaller f5.6 is still f5.6 on that smaller sensor.

If you want to actually compare two different systems, you have to look at the final output- the image. To get the exact same image (same Field of View, same Depth of Field, and same Signal-to-Noise ratio\/grain), the math is actually painfully simple:  \nMultiply the Focal Length by the crop factor (to match FOV).  \nMultiply the Aperture by the crop factor (to match DOF and total light gathered\/photon noise).  \nMultiply the ISO by the square of the crop factor (to match the noise levels).\n\nLike\n\n3\n\n2 weeks ago[permalink](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0686192565\/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=6856893813)\n\n[Kona Mike](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/members\/9247044690)\n\nI have not ever thought that a small camera like this was ever trying to get the exact same image.

To my perception, if the compact camera is to get a rebirth, it needs to bring something new to the market.   \nSupposing the compact camera is to compete with the mobile phone, many, if not most mobile phones today include an ultra wide angle lens. Give that to a compact camera! Instead of starting at 24mm, let the lens start at 20 and it doesn’t need to go to a very long focal length so it maintains a certain quality in the final image. And keep the lens fast enough.\n\nBut looking at the above image, on the right side of the front camera, what’s this bump behind the eyelet? This is where an EVF bump is supposed to be but to the top of the camera. Not where it is here.

Reddit user Radeon26 [posted a photo](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Lumix\/comments\/1rvjm1f\/new_lumix_tz300_leaked\/) that appears to show the upcoming camera, alongside a specs card that says it has a 20MP Type-1 sensor, a 24-360mm equiv. F3.3-6.4 lens and a macro mode for taking pictures of subjects as close as 3cm (1.2\") away.\n\nThe image came from a now-private video from a Polish creator, which we were able to watch before it was pulled. It appeared to show an official Panasonic event where the rest of the company's Lumix lineup, as well as other electronics, were being shown off.\n\nWhile we weren't able to get more information from the video than what's visible in the screenshot, we can probably do some informed speculation, given that the camera's name and design imply that it's a follow-up to the [Lumix DC-ZS200\/TZ200](https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/reviews\/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs200-tz200) from 2018.

Reddit user Radeon26 [posted a photo](https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1rvjm1f/new_lumix_tz300_leaked/) that appears to show the upcoming camera, alongside a specs card that says it has a 20MP Type-1 sensor, a 24-360mm equiv. F3.3-6.4 lens and a macro mode for taking pictures of subjects as close as 3cm (1.2") away. The image came from a now-private video from a Polish creator, which we were able to watch before it was pulled. It appeared to show an official Panasonic event where the rest of the company's Lumix lineup, as well as other electronics, were being shown off. While we weren't able to get more information from the video than what's visible in the screenshot, we can probably do some informed speculation, given that the camera's name and design imply that it's a follow-up to the [Lumix DC-ZS200/TZ200](https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs200-tz200) from 2018. That camera has the same sensor and lens specs, though is equipped with a microUSB port. It could be that, as with the [Lumix DC-ZS99 from last year](https://www.dpreview.com/news/8943078360/panasonic-g97-zs99-tz99-refresh-usb-c), the company is releasing a mild update of the camera to add USB-C. One thing we wouldn't like to see repeated from the DC-ZS99 refresh is the loss of an EVF, though the video being taken down makes it hard to scrub through frame by frame for any hint of one on the TZ300. But, given the sticker next to the camera that says "Embargo Date 24 March 2026," it seems like we won't have to wait that long before there's an official announcement.

Sony sold a controlling stake in Bravia TVs to TCL. Panasonic has offloaded all manufacturing, sales, and distribution of their TVs to Skyworth. I suspect Canon, Sony, and maybe Fuji will be the last ones standing. Canon, because Professional and Consumer Imaging are a huge chunk of their business. Sony, because they need proof of concepts for their Semiconductor business and they have some fairly lucrative AP and broadcasting contracts. Fuji, because Instax continues to print money and the rest is a nice bonus. I expect DJI, Viltrox, and Xiaomi to continue to encroach into the traditionally Japanese consumer electronics space.

Is there any reason to consider these compact cameras while the iPhones continue to improve and innovate? IMO the next significant improvements will be better computer editing programs for iPhone Raw Images. Along such lines, the Bayer app that captures iPhone images in the closest version of "RAW" seems to be worthy of exploration. If not already completed, IMO It would be both interesting and relevant for dpreview to evaluate various add on lenses for the iPhone camera. Comparison with the RAW files from such lenses when compared to RAW files of the same subjects from cameras similar to the Panasonic Lumix would be very interesting.

What I don't understand is why they can't understand the massive advantages of using a viewfinder and the tendency of some of them to knock people who do. It's MUCH harder to hold a camera steady when it's not braced against your head as well as your arms; it's much harder to frame accurately when you are looking at something relatively small (a distant screen), compared to a viewfinder in which everything you see is what you will photograph; and gauging exposure and colour with something not screened from external light (assuming you can even see through the reflections) is vastly harder using a rear screen. Each to his/her own but please don't pretend using a screen is much better and a viewfinder is redundant! It absolutely isn't.

Yes, of course, you can hold more steady pressing your elbows to your sides and camera to your face. You can also get a better shot with a huge fixed focal length lens mounted to a large sensor camera. Better yet, why not carry a huge tripod and shoot every shot from the tripod and bracket all exposures. The purpose of this camera is to be a small easily portable camera, making it difficult to include every feature. Tradeoffs are needed to make the camera small. Look at the cell phone, it gives up not only the EVF but the lens too and still the vast majority of people find the pictures worth the tradeoffs. I doubt if a small camera like this even had an EVF, it would have an eye-cup that you could press into to steady the camera. An EVF on this little camera wouldn't even be as wide as your eyeball. That was my point, how good would the tiny EVF be, certainly not as good as those on ILC cameras.

I have seen many people out with new expensive gear composing 100% with the screen and not the viewfinder. I use my viewfinder on my ILC, but find the rear screen 100% perfect when shooting on my tiny compact. So, after you get the shot, you walk around looking through the viewfinder, because your glasses are in your pocket? I'd like to see that\! With sales volumes down, companies need broad appeal of their gear and I seriously doubt 99% of people would care about an EVF. Ever hand your camera to someone that didn't know to look in the viewfinder let alone press the back focus button? Companies trying to sell gear know what sells. Mass market appeal and high sales does not occur because they include every feature photo gear-heads want.

Maybe it displays equivalent focal lengths in the user interface, but then it could just as easily display equivalent f-ratios and ISO settings as well. The actual f-ratio is an internal implementation detail with pretty much the same relevance as the actual focal length: you don’t set the aperture to f/5 because you want the photo to have been taken “at f/5” with the EXIF data to match; you set it because it achieves the visual effect you want.

The field of view can be different and the DOF will be different, but the exposure will be 100% exactly the same. f5.6 on 35mm is still f5.6, when the sensor is smaller f5.6 is still f5.6 on that smaller sensor.

Every camera regardless of focal length and sensor size will have EXACTLY the same exposure when the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed are set the same. Yes, there can be slight variations as manufacturers seem to have slightly different interpretations of ISO. Field of view and DOF will be the only differences and depend on lens focal length and the sensor size. The small camera here zoomed to the max at 132mm will produce an image where the subject fills the frame the same as a FF camera zoomed to 360mm. This small camera will achieve a shutter speed the exact same as the FF camera when ISO is set the same on both. The major difference will be that the DOF will be greater for the small camera and the field of view won't be the same.

Equivalence isn't 'fear-mongering', it’s just a simple obvious math. If you want to actually compare two different systems, you have to look at the final output- the image. To get the exact same image (same Field of View, same Depth of Field, and same Signal-to-Noise ratio/grain), the math is actually painfully simple: Multiply the Focal Length by the crop factor (to match FOV). Multiply the Aperture by the crop factor (to match DOF and total light gathered/photon noise). Multiply the ISO by the square of the crop factor (to match the noise levels).

All that anyone is saying is that this camera at, say, 132mm f/6.4 1/400s ISO 200 should give results with the same field of view, depth of field, diffraction and a similar amount of noise to 180mm f/8.7 1/400s ISO 400 on M43 or 360mm f/17 1/400s ISO 1600 on FF. You can use any shutter speed you like. “I have not ever thought that a small camera like this was ever trying to get the exact same image.” The idea is not “trying to get the exact same image” (prescriptive), it’s to have a frame of reference for the kind of images you would get (descriptive).

You mostly just lock these cameras at base ISO unless it's super bright or you're shooting some timelapse thing so "ISO" is not that relevant in describing a lens.

But after years of using Compact travel Zoom cameras, I have to say the pop-up viewfinder in my Sony HX90 is far more useful. So losing the viewfinder - especially if it doesn't have a tilt-swivel screen, is really not a great offering for this market. It is indeed very likely that it's a minor update to add the USB-C to enable continued sales in the EU. It may garner the compact travel zoom market SOLELY by being the only available such camera available new today. When my Nikon died- I was lucky to find a second hand Sony HX90 that works great.

To my perception, if the compact camera is to get a rebirth, it needs to bring something new to the market. Supposing the compact camera is to compete with the mobile phone, many, if not most mobile phones today include an ultra wide angle lens. Give that to a compact camera! Instead of starting at 24mm, let the lens start at 20 and it doesn’t need to go to a very long focal length so it maintains a certain quality in the final image. And keep the lens fast enough. But looking at the above image, on the right side of the front camera, what’s this bump behind the eyelet? This is where an EVF bump is supposed to be but to the top of the camera.

Lets wait to see what the official release says next week. I'm just glad that Panasonic is still investing in this form factor. Even if it is almost the same as the TZ200, at least it will put downward pressure on prices for the TZ200. Like 3 3 weeks ago[permalink](https://www.dpreview.com/news/0686192565/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=4652118347) [Impulses](https://www.dpreview.com/members/4436642730) The ZS200 seems to be out of stock everywhere in the US, so I'm not sure this will really put any downward price pressure on that model... The few buyers that care about 1" compacts seem to be outstripping supply, Sony raised prices on an RX100 during the tariffs mess and they never came back down, Canon can barely keep theirs in stock. I dunno why Panasonic wouldn't give more advanced notice about this when they don't even have ZS200 stock sitting out there TBH... I just bought a grey market RX100 VII cause I couldn't stomach paying \$500 more for one and after renting it twice it still seemed like the best bet for concerts by far (well my partner got it for me).

I think the ZS200 debuted at \$800 and had dropped well under that before disappearing (in the US anyway, is there still stock elsewhere?). Like 1 3 weeks ago[permalink](https://www.dpreview.com/news/0686192565/panasonic-tz-300-leak?comment=9177678767) [ZilverHaylide](https://www.dpreview.com/members/8193139304) @Impulses I guess I can see the point of a point-and-shoot type camera for concerts, given the often-seen imposition by venues of no "professional" cameras requirement, often (unfairly) interpreted by those venues as no cameras accepting interchangeable lenses. But then, even if accepting the no-interchangeable-lenses limitation, nothing should stop the manufacturers from making at least one good fixed-lens model with a good (and bigger) sensor, and a better lens. Yeah, costs more, but buyers, by other purchases, have already demonstrated a willingness to pay. And most everyday-carry uses do not involve the concert fixed lens limitation, and I think that there is a substantial market for a small MFT camera but with interchangeable lenses.

For more information, you can [read our coverage here](https://www.dpreview.com/news/0117907605/panasonic-s-lumix-zs300-tz300-compact-is-disappointingly-familiar).* Recent Videos It seems like Panasonic may be working on a new compact camera: the TZ300. Reddit user Radeon26 [posted a photo](https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1rvjm1f/new_lumix_tz300_leaked/) that appears to show the upcoming camera, alongside a specs card that says it has a 20MP Type-1 sensor, a 24-360mm equiv. F3.3-6.4 lens and a macro mode for taking pictures of subjects as close as 3cm (1.2") away. The image came from a now-private video from a Polish creator, which we were able to watch before it was pulled. It appeared to show an official Panasonic event where the rest of the company's Lumix lineup, as well as other electronics, were being shown off. While we weren't able to get more information from the video than what's visible in the screenshot, we can probably do some informed speculation, given that the camera's name and design imply that it's a follow-up to the [Lumix DC-ZS200/TZ200](https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs200-tz200) from 2018. That camera has the same sensor and lens specs, though is equipped with a microUSB port. It could be that, as with the [Lumix DC-ZS99 from last year](https://www.dpreview.com/news/8943078360/panasonic-g97-zs99-tz99-refresh-usb-c), the company is releasing a mild update of the camera to add USB-C. One thing we wouldn't like to see repeated from the DC-ZS99 refresh is the loss of an EVF, though the video being taken down makes it hard to scrub through frame by frame for any hint of one on the TZ300. But, given the sticker next to the camera that says "Embargo Date 24 March 2026," it seems like we won't have to wait that long before there's an official announcement.
