While all the above spec is pretty much a must-have for a compact digital camera released in 2019 – whereby said camera needs to sufficiently differentiate itself from smartphones and tablets to be worth buying, while simultaneously staying familiarly close to them in terms of operation to stay approachable and ‘current’ – it’ll come as no surprise that this is pretty much a pimped up point-and-shooter, ‘thanks’ to a small, standard-issue 1/2.3-inch sensor at its core.

The DC-TZ95D features a fixed LEICA DC lens, with a wide range focal length from 24mm to 720mm thanks to the 30x optical zoom. Eliminate the limitations of distance when you want to capture the sights around you, and take photos and videos of both close and far distant objects without issue. Images such as this have a good overall impression of detail, but you can see some image smoothing if you look closely. Switching macro focusing on is a good idea if you want to get super-close to your subjects, and can be particularly useful for flowers and detail shots, for example.

The time available for recording varies depending on the environment, the interval between recordings, and the manner of use. From the front of this Lumix then, with a size broadly similar to a jumbo box of matches, the aforementioned zoom lens dominates proceedings, offering up to that generous 720mm equivalent reach at the telephoto end. In operation it takes around 3-4 seconds for the lens to glide from maximum wideangle to extreme telephoto, accompanied by an unobtrusively low mechanical buzz. Although picture detail inevitably softens at maximum zoom, the results are still plenty sharp enough for it to prove a useful asset. It goes without saying that the camera is responsive enough to avoid your attention ever needing to wander from the subject itself, with an AF speed given of 0.1 seconds, allied to a maximum burst capture rate of 10fps in AF-S mode or 5fps in AF-C mode. Having merely pasted the links as text, they show in the preview as links. All that time wasted becasue I tried to do it right! Alongside the COOLPIX A1000 there doesn’t look to be a great difference in size and in fact there’s no more than a millimetre or two between them in any dimension, they’re also almost identical in weight. As we’re looking at them from the front, I’ll mention that the COOLPIX A1000 has a second zoom control on the lens barrel, whereas the TZ95 / ZS80 has a programmable ring.

Use a card with SD Speed Class with ""UHS-I Speed Class 3 (U3)"" when recording motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K] or [4K PHOTO]. If you need to take it to the next level you can also switch across into 4K photo mode where you can shoot a sequence of 30 frames in a second and extract your best shot afterwards, so you’ll never miss that precise moment. This feature is also useful while shooting in selfie mode with a group of friends to make sure everyone in your photo has their eyes open and are smiling.
