Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ40 review – Our verdict
Panasonic has been wise with its improvements to its flagship travel compact camera. The Lumix DMC-TZ40 offers as good a feature set as any in its class, not least of which is a versatile and effectively stabilised lens, excellent touchscreen operation, Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity, a variety of shooting modes and a lightweight build.
As for image quality, it is good for its class but by no means outstanding, being equal to many more run-of-the-mill compacts. That said, the TZ40 has an increased resolution with no detrimental effect on its image quality across a variety of lighting conditions and ISO settings. As travel compacts go, the TZ40 is about as good as it gets.
