A compact superzoom camera is the perfect travel companion, but which one is right for you?
The Panasonic Lumix TZ80 fits a 30x optical zoom and 4K Video in a travel-friendly camera
When looking for a new camera to take on holiday, it's always hard to decide what model will suit your lifestyles, needs and travel style. While some of us want the best that money can buy, many are looking for a portable and intuitive model that will fit in our bags and holiday plans.
Like all the best travel cameras, the latest Panasonic Lumix cameras pack an impressively long zoom range into a compact and pocket-sized body, which makes them the perfect choice for backpacking and family holidays alike.
Our star this summer is the Panasonic Lumix TZ80, a brilliant but affordable travel camera with a generous 30x zoom.

Panasonic Lumix is your perfect travel companion
Because the Panasonic Lumix TZ80 only weighs 240g, it's small enough to fit into your luggage or rucksack when you're travelling.
From wildlife to portraits, no matter where you are in the world you'll be able to get closer to a wide range of subjects with the Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens and 30x optical zoom.
Aside from the zoom lens, standout features include 4K Video, 4K Photo, plus Panasonic's clever Post Focus setting, which lets you adjust the focus-points of your pictures after you've taken them and ensures sharp results from once in a lifetime photo opportunities.
