Leak reveals Panasonic Lumix TZ300 with 1 inch sensor and 24 - 360 mm Leica zoom lens
The Panasonic Lumix TZ200 was originally launched at the beginning of 2018 for a list price of 799 euros. Now Reddit user Radeon26 has tracked down a brand new Panasonic Lumix TZ300 in a Polish video that has since been deleted. The image in the Reddit post embedded below is apparently from a press event, as a sticker next to the camera indicates that all information about the Lumix TZ300 may only be released on March 24th.
The launch of the Panasonic Lumix TZ300 is apparently less than a week away. Panasonic is hardly revising the design, and the already known features remain practically unchanged. Like the TZ200, the Lumix TZ300 has a 20 megapixel sensor in 1 inch format and a zoom lens with Leica branding, which has a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 24 - 360 mm, i.e. the lens achieves 15x optical zoom.
The pop-up flash can already be seen and, as with the previous model, an electronic viewfinder is also likely to be on board. DPReview speculates that the Lumix TZ300 could be just as moderate an upgrade as the Lumix TZ99 ($610 on Amazon), with the micro USB port being replaced by a USB-C port. Panasonic should officially confirm whether the compact camera will receive upgrades apart from the new port and possibly newer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards at the launch on March 24th.
