Lumix DMC-ZS100
Panasonic announced at CES 2016 the new LUMIX DMC-ZS100, a premium, compact travel camera that boasts performance typically associated with expensive interchangeable lens models. Despite the camera’s small size, this latest addition to the LUMIX ZS range combines a host of features and a powerful 10x zoom to make it the perfect travel companion for even the most demanding photographers and videographers. The large 1-inch MOS sensor, one of the biggest of any camera in its class, combines with Panasonic’s Venus engine to capture consistently bright and beautiful images wherever your travels take you. With innovative features such as 4K Photo and Post-Focus, it’s never been easier to capture the exact frame that you visualized when looking through the lens. What’s more, with simple control and connectivity, you can share your adventure with friends and family at the press of a button.
Capture your travels in outstanding quality
The 1-inch sensor’s large pixels are capable of capturing more light, resulting in shots that look crisp, clear, and natural, even when photographing at high ISO, such as dusk and dawn. The Venus engine also provides unrivaled color accuracy for a travel camera. The unique hues, saturation, and luminosity of a multi-colored sunset, for example, are individually processed and carefully adjusted to reproduce breathtakingly authentic results. In addition to stunning photo quality, the camera also provides 4K video recording capability that fits easily into your pocket. The LUMIX DMC-ZS100 offers smooth, high-quality video recording at a 4K 3840x2160-pixel resolution at 24 and 30 fps in the MP4 format; as well as Full HD 1920x1080-pixel 60p videos in the MP4 format. With four times the resolution of Full HD, the resulting 4K video brings the sights and sounds of your travels to life, just as you remember capturing it.
Achieve professional quality results, every time
As well as recording high resolution videos, the camera’s 4K capability also enables you to capture accurate photos like never before. For the first time in a travel camera, Panasonic’s 4K Photo function allows you to extract an 8-megapixel still from 4K video (30fps) with total control and precision, so even fleeting events, such as the exact moment you hit the water diving into the sea, can be captured and enjoyed for a lifetime.
Share your memories
Once you’ve captured an array of beautiful photos and video, the LUMIX DMC-ZS100 makes it fast and simple to share them with friends and family. Combining Wi-Fi and QR code connectivity, it is easy to connect the camera to a smartphone or tablet, allowing you to post to social media almost as soon as they’ve been recorded.
Lumix DMC-ZS60
Also announced at CES 2016, a new addition to Panasonic's travel zoom range: the LUMIX DMC-ZS60. The camera’s small and sturdy build means that it fits easily into a pocket, and at less than 11 ounces, it won’t weigh you down on your next adventure.
The new ZS model manages to pack outstanding performance and a host of practical features into its lightweight chassis. An 18M sensor is ideal for taking high-quality photos in all conditions, and 4K capability means that your favorite travel memories can be recorded in stunning detail. What’s more, the LUMIX DMC-ZS60 also features a 30x Zoom LEICA lens, so you’ll never be out of range for that perfect holiday shot.
Color, clarity and powerful zoom
The camera incorporates an 18M high-sensitivity MOS sensor, allowing you to capture even the finest details of your travels. Whether taking pictures on a sunny beach or during a candlelit dinner for two, the LUMIX DMC-ZS60’s exceptional low-light performance ensures crisp, clear, and natural results with minimal noise. The sensor includes a powerful Venus engine to reproduce breathtaking colors that remain accurate to the composition you saw through the lens. The LUMIX DMC-ZS60’s outstanding optical capability is underpinned by a high-end LEICA lens with a 30x Zoom (24–720 mm), for performance that far outweighs its compact body. The camera allows you to get closer to the action without disturbing the subject, which is perfect for pictures and videos of wildlife, or more natural shots of friends and family.
Capture those perfect moments in stunning 4KUHD
The LUMIX DMC-ZS60’s 4K video capability enables you to record and relive all those special moments in the highest quality. With four times the resolution of Full HD, videos reproduce the breathtaking color and detail of every scene, an experience second only to being there in person. The camera offers smooth, high-quality 4K video recording at 3840x2160 pixels at 30 fps in the MP4 format, as well as Full HD 1920x1080-pixel 60p videos in the MP4 format. Panasonic has also utilized 4K to help take photo accuracy to a new level. For the first time in a travel camera, Panasonic’s 4K Photo function allows you to extract an 8-megapixel still from 4K video (30 fps) with amazing precision. The feature provides the perfect solution for capturing those fleeting moments, whether it’s timing the kids jumping into a pool or a dolphin breaching the waves.
Hone your camera skills
If you’re looking to develop your photographic skills, the LUMIX DMC-ZS60 provides extensive and easy-to-use manual settings. A dedicated Control Ring gives smooth control of settings such as zoom, aperture, and shutter speed, allowing you to concentrate on lining up the prefect shot. Similarly, a 3-inch 1040k-dot touch screen makes navigating menus and selecting your preferred setting incredibly quick and easy, even in bright sunlight.
Panasonic’s New Camcorder Line-up Provides Videographers and Families with Everything They Need for Picture Perfect Recording
Panasonic also announced two new camcorders into its 4K Ultra-High-Definition line-up (HC-WXF991 and HC-VX981), and three into its Full HD camcorder line-up (HC-W580, HC-V380, and HC-V180).
Overwhelming 4K Quality at the Touch of a Button HC-WXF991 and HC-VX981
These new 4K camcorders build on the success of Panasonic’s first 4K camcorders, which were introduced in the market last year. By combining a wealth of advanced imaging technologies such as the LEICA DICOMAR Lens, BSI Sensor, and Crystal Engine 4K, beautiful 4K images that boast four times the resolution of Full HD can be captured for later viewing. In addition, high-speed, high-precision auto focus technologies, which are highly critical for 4K shooting, help to increase the image quality further. Also, by recording in 4K PHOTO mode, the user can obtain 8-megapixel still images of decisive moments that even the burst shooting of a DSLR camera struggles to capture. These 4K technologies are concentrated into a body that is almost as compact and lightweight as the Panasonic Full HD camcorders.
4K Cropping of Recorded Videos without Using Editing Software- HC-WXF991 and HC-VX981
The new 4K Cropping cuts out Full HD resolution video from 4K footage internally within the camcorder. It allows post-editing effects to be added to a recorded video, such as zooming, panning, tracking, and stabilizing. The edited video is saved in Full-HD format. This function is especially appreciated by those who want to create high-quality Full HD videos.
Capture everyone’s memorable moment with Simultaneous Recording HC-WXF991 and HC-VX981, HC-W580 and HC-V380
Wireless Multi Camera is a new function evolved from Panasonic's original Wireless Twin Camera, which enables picture-in-picture recording by using a Wi-Fi-connected smartphone as a sub-camera. While the Wireless Twin Camera links to only one smartphone, the Wireless Multi Camera connects to as many as three smartphones, and records up to two sub-window images, instead of one. This lets the user shoot from a variety of angles and viewpoints to capture a level of emotional impact that is simply not possible with a single camera.
