Strengths outweigh the tech
An excellent travel camera with excellent picture quality, fantastic zoom abilities, and the all important Lumix quality. Released late 2014, and heavily discounted after a year, this camera deserves better reviews than it received.

e rewarded with crystal clear pictures. The TZ55 will impress if you learn to use all the functions, aperture priority, shutter priority, adjustable f stops, and so much more...or set it to AI.....auto, and point and shoot. This camera, with it's heavily discounted price (new and secondhand), will reward you over and over again. If you do get the wifi sorted, and connected to your smartphone, you can control the camera remotely, zoom in, take a shot, and upload to your phone.....all without touching the camera. (It took me half an hour). It features a flip up screen for VLOG / selfies, picture stabilisation, and full HD video 1080p capable. New examples are about $250AUD whilst 2nd hand are from around $80AUD....shop around and look for items with a low shutter count....under 8K . Happy snapping! (and don't fall for the trap buying from a US seller.......way overpriced!!)
