## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this camera a significant upgrade to t DMX-ZS20?**
A: The zs20 is several iterations ago from the zs50. Research on sites like dpreview will show you the different features, but of the most noteworthy are the 30Xzoom vs 20, the view finder (which on its own is amazing), and higher res display. The zs50 has built in WiFi, but the zs20 has built in GPS. The former is great for transferring images directly to your smart phone wirelessly, or using your smart phone as a complete remote control. The zs50 is a bit larger and has better ergonomics IMO. It compares more with the zs40 which it replaced, than the zs20 from a few years ago. My assumption would be that you could find a good deal on ebay on a mint condition one for a decent price. Not likely with the zs50 that was only released 6 months ago. My opinion: if the GPS feature is something you can do without, the zs50 is a much better equipped camera. Fewer MP as well, but that translates in better quality pictures in lower light. I absolutely love mine. Hope that helps.

**Q: Is the picture quality good enough to use on my travel website?  I need beautiful website photos without carting around a big camera while traveling.**
A: I would say yes for any website since the resolution most webpages use is 640x480 at the most.  The camera can shoot at 0.3MP all the way to 12MP yielding photos that take forever to load given the file size and the ultra short fruit bat attention span of most webizens.  The camera takes great photos even at the 0.3MP setting.  The majority of folks I know do everything on a smeary 4 or 5 inch smart phone screen anyhow.  This was my backup camera as I general shoot with a DSLR but it's so darn good I only use the DSLR for really exotic shots like an Airbus shadow on the south face of the Matterhorn.  Hope this helps.  PS the one I bought, black on black was a graymarket model.  If want a US warranty spend 100 bucks more and buy from Panasonic USA..

**Q: Is the viewfinder significantly better on the ZS50 than on the ZS40?  I am trying to balance out the loss of GPS on the 50.**
A: Yes, it is better.  It has a much higher resolution than did the ZS40.  The ZS40 viewfinder was more for marketing whereas the viewfinder on the ZS50 is very useable.  According to the reviews on the internet the images seen in the viewfinder are 5 times more defined than before.. I prefer using a viewfinder to the monitor so am using the viewfinder almost exclusively.  It is surprisingly good.  There is diopter dial next to the viewfinder where you can adjust the view to your own eye.  First time I looked through the viewfinder i was disappointed, but when I gave the dial a tiny turn, it the difference was huge.

**Q: I have a battery and charger from the zs20. the battery is dmw bcg 10pp. the charger is de-a65. are these compatable with the zs50s?**
A: Sorry, the ZS50 and ZS50s use a DMW-BCM13 battery. However in addition to the packaged USB charger and battery we are currently including a bonus FREE DMW-BCM13 battery and external battery charger with the ZS50 and ZS50s purchase!Fireside Camera

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best of the Compact Cameras
*by D***E on June 6, 2015*

This is my fourth Lumix camera and it is the best. It is a metal casting/machined case that gives it a good feel It just takes superior photos compared with the competition. i have owned Nikon and Cannon and these have far better durability and photo performance. I have now taken about 1500 photos with this camera. These Panasonics have s superior zoom mechanism especially compared to the plastic gear Nikon zooms that just strip and fail way too soon. The Leica lens is superior to the competition, is optically and mechanically superior, and is the longest lived.I really like the 30X zoom and stabilizer. I get a good image at full zoom 90% of the time compared with about a fourth of the time with a 10X Nikon that also had a stabilizer. I also like the SCN modes. The hand held night mode works superbly. It seems to take multiple exposures and stitches the pixels to make an image. I use the P mode for most regiular photos. The I'A mode works fairly good, but it gets confused on when a flash should be used for fill light. The IA mode does work very well on bringing in the macro mode. The red eye reducing flash mode is not reliable with the IA mode. The sunset mode really works well and gives a very nice orange bias to the coloring for sun \rises and sunsets.I don't miss the GPS feature. I usually know where I am and the GPS feature ran down my batteries much quicker. I prefer simplicity.I have tried the view finder, but I have trouble using it with eye glasses. I know about the diopter control, but it is still hard to see the photo frame. I find the camera screen works well enough, even in sun. .I especially like the image quality from this camera. It has superior sharpness, colors are vivid, it has a great dynamic range that results in good images in poor light without a flash. We used this camera at a restaurant function and got far superior images compared especially to I-phone photos, but also Cannon and Nikon cameras. Everyone sent me their photos and I made a photo file and burned DVD data disks for everyone. The Panasonic had by far the best images.The 12 Megapixel sensor doesn't seem to be a shortcoming compared to a prior 18 Megapixel camera we had. We get sharp prints up to 8X10.The serious shortcoming Panasonic has had with the Lumix cameras is that dirt leaks into the camera and leaves black spots in the picture. That is what has killed three of our Panasonic cameras. It happens at about two years out and about 10.000 photos. We hope this one will do better. There is a U-tube video that explains how to disassemble these cameras and clean off the sensor and rear lens element. I haven't been brave enough to do this.In summary, this is a great camera, fits in a shirt pocket, and one i can have with me a lot more than the old SLRs. To do better photo quality, you have to go to the big SLRs and spend another $2K or more and that will be a camera you won't have with you much of the timek plus this one travels better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great camera for enthusiasts with many pros and few cons.
*by O***D on April 18, 2015*

I've had the ZS50 for a few weeks now, and the more I use it, the more impressed I am. I just finished writing a five-article hands-on review which I have posted on my photography Web site. I just Googled for Brian Byrd ZS50, and the first three results were three articles from the series.There is a lot to say, which is why I wrote five articles, but I will try to hit the highlights here. For the past 18 months I have been happy with my Fujifilm FinePix F900EXR. I bought the ZS50 as soon as it was available because it has all the feature of the F900, plus a viewfinder, a 30x zoom instead of a 20x, and more.I'll never buy a camera without RAW image capability, so that's a must-have. The quality of the viewfinder is fine. Having a viewfinder is indispensable at times, and has already come in very handy. 20x zoom is great, 30x zoom is awesome!As other reviewers have noted, the optical image stabilization works very well. I have been very impressed with it. The full manual exposure control is implemented well, but the manual focus it not as great. Read my articles for all the details.The Wi-Fi remote control is a dream come true. I tested it out at the bird feeder in my backyard and got some amazing shots! The image quality of the 12 MP sensor (thank you Panasonic for your wise decision to reduce the pixel count!) is so good that I was able to enlarge some shots with a 100% crop and they still came out really good. I would not dare to crop like that with images from my F900. See my Web site for all the bird photos.The ZS50 focuses a lot slower when the focus mode is set to AF Macro, so make sure you have the focus mode set to regular AF unless you are doing some close-up shots. For the best focusing in low-light situations, you will want to make sure the AF Assist Lamp option is turned on in the menu.Apart from the great remote control, the rest of the mobile app is not very impressive. It would be nice if the ZS50 had some sort of tilting LCD screen, but the remote control feature can compensate for that in some situations.Accompanying my five articles are three photo albums of test shots taken with the ZS50 during the past three weeks, so that you don't merely get all of my blah, blah, blah, but you can actually see for yourself what this great little camera is capable of.All in all, I am very happy with it. It definitely surpasses the Fujifilm F900. Of course, it is not perfect, but then no camera is. Every camera is designed and built with compromises and trade-offs. Considering the relatively-low price and how much functionality Panasonic has packed into a pretty-small package, I can give it 5 stars without hesitation.
