The previously leaked Panasonic Lumix TZ300 compact camera is now officially announced
Press release:
Newark, N.J. (Mar. 24, 2026) – Panasonic is pleased to introduce the new LUMIX ZS300, a pocket-sized *1 digital compact camera designed for travelers and everyday creators who want exceptional image quality in a portable form. Whether you’re photographing distant landmarks on a vacation, capturing vibrant night views in a busy city, or recording spontaneous moments with friends, this versatile camera adapts to any situation.
The LUMIX ZS300 combines a powerful 15x optical zoom with a 1.0type BSI CMOS sensor to deliver clear, detailed images even in challenging lighting. Its LEICA certified lens covers a 24–360mm *2 focal range, enabling everything from sweeping landscapes to faraway subjects to be captured with crisp precision. The high sensitivity sensor minimizes noise in nighttime scenes, preserving natural brightness and fine detail at approximately 20.1 megapixels.
For creative close-up shooting, the ZS300 features AF Macro, allowing users to focus as close as 3cm. Small objects—from delicate flowers to everyday accessories—can be captured with sharp clarity. Despite its advanced capabilities, the compact camera body fits easily into a pocket or bag, making it ideal for daily carry and travel.
For video shooting, the ZS300 offers 4K recording at 3840 × 2160, providing lifelike detail for travel scenes and fast-moving action. Highspeed FHD 120fps recording offers smooth slow-motion expression, while 4K PHOTO captures moments at 30 frames per second, letting you extract the perfect shot.
To ensure stable and blurfree shooting, POWER O.I.S. effectively compensates for handshake at telephoto or in low-light environments. When filming while walking, 5axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ provides smooth, stable video.
A variety of 22 creative filter effects allow users to tailor the look of their photos to match their personal style. A builtin flash ensures bright, clear results even in dark settings such as indoor parties or nighttime portraits.
With Bluetooth® connectivity and WiFi® image transfer via the Panasonic Image App, sharing photos and videos from the ZS300 is fast and convenient. USB TypeC® charging *3 provides added flexibility, allowing users to power the camera on the go using AC adapters, PCs, or portable power banks.
