Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6

The Lumix DMC-TZ6 (known as the ZS1 in some regions) is a travel-zoom camera that balances a large zoom range with a pocketable size. It features a 10.1-megapixel sensor and a 12x optical zoom Leica DC lens, covering a 25-300mm equivalent range. This wide-to-telephoto versatility is supported by Panasonic's Mega O.I.S. system. It uses the Venus Engine V, which facilitates fast start-up times and improved noise reduction at higher ISO settings. When buying a used TZ6, it is important to check the lens for internal dust, which can be drawn in during the extension of the 12x zoom barrel. The zoom movement should be fluid across the entire range. SDS examines the 2.7-inch LCD for dead pixels and verifies that the mode dial clicks firmly into each position, preventing accidental setting changes during use.
