Description

The Zs200 bridges the gap between a smart phone camera and a large bulky high end DSLR or mirrorless camera. With a larger sensor than a smart phone camera, the ZS200 is able to take pictures with more detail and with less noise.

Pros:

  • Excellent zoom range
  • Physical lens ring control
  • Inclusion of a viewfinder is a plus
  • Great for macro photography
  • Full manual controls
  • Battery life is good compared to competitors

Cons:

  • The lens has slow maximum apertures which reduce low light image quality
  • Monitor is fixed so it’s hard to take pictures from low or high angles
