Panasonic's successor to the ZS100 "travel zoom" compact brings the lens to 24-360mm, but sacrifices speed.
When Panasonic
launched the ZS100 compact about two years ago, it had the distinction
of offering the biggest zoom range in the 1-inch sensor compact class;
now, its successor, the ZS200, retains that advantage with its 15x
zoom. While Panasonic has tweaked the design a bit, the 24-360mm
f3.3-6.4 lens, a higher-resolution electronic viewfinder and the
addition of Bluetooth are the primary changes.Like the ZS100, it has may aliases: in the UK you'll find it as the TZ200, and in Australia the TZ220. It will debut at a higher price than the ZS100 though, $800, when it ships in March. (I don't have pricing for anywhere but the US yet, but that $800 directly converts to £580 and AU$1,020.)
