Is this a 20x zoom or a 30x as on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60??

30x... goes from 24 to 270.... camera works beautifully ....actually I have the DMC-40...go to DP review to compare different cameras....

30x....these cameras are the same..one US version the other International (why? .....for reasons unknown).....

This camera has an optical zoom of 30x and an extended optical zoom of 71.7x. Full details can be found in the below link. https://shop.panasonic.com/docs/operating-instruction/2014/digital-still-cameras/DMCZS40.pdf#page=22

They claim it's an 80x optical zoom, but I would have to check their website again.

D. Barnes is correct. Although I'm very new with the camera, I am amazed at how well the stability worked with telephoto movie. When photographing our grandson's football game, the camera was set to full zoom, and the view finder shown the movie as shaking terribly. I was certain it would be unviewable (a word?). But after downloading, it was quite amazing how steady the movie appeared. Impressive.

From what I have found the DMC-ZS30 is the USA Version of the DMC-TZ40. I am considering this camera just haven't made my mind up yet. Thanks to those who posted about the language issues with the camera menus.

for my 7D I went with the 10-22mm USM IS and the 24-105mmL and I think that covers the majority of my ranges (I also got the 70-300mm USM telephoto zoom so I think I'm pretty well covered from 10-300mm ;-)

The actual lens is 15.1 - 60.4 mm but the sensor is not a full frame 35 mm camera. The equivalent 4x zoom on a 35 mm camera would be 28 - 112 mm.The lens specs are nothing spectacular, but it is a very good lens. The huge sensor gives SLR-like images.

The fit of the camera with the 10-30mm lens is precise. No additional room for any sort of adapter. A ring goes around the 10-30mm lens that lets you adjust the zoom from the outside. This ring will only fit the 10-30mm lens.

No issue with the full 20x optical zoom. Suggest that you run a test under ideal condition i.e. with the camera on a tripod. You will get degradation when using the digital zoom at or near the max zoom.

It is observable by real people like me. I have canon SX10, which is super zoom 20X. You can't even compare this more or less recent camera to my old horse DSLR Nikon D50. Quality of the image isn't simply there. DSLR is always producing better images than super zoom compact, always.

Yes, that is correct. It should be 20-60X80 like a scope that is veritable power. 80mm is the objective lens size. 20 power is the low magnification, 60 the max.

Here is a nice review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 on youtube by cameralabs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g4icsP8kRE

It appears to be the 200 mm. I have not measured exactly per say but it does zoom out that much and it works really well. I keep it on my camera unless I am doing some macro work.

yah the fact that the TZ5 has a 10x zoom compared to a 4x zoom on the fx35 - AND the zoom feature cannot be used in the fx50 during videos - ONLY THE TZ5 HAS THAT FEATURE

I don't remember it saying zoom in the description, but in any case, it is not a zoom lens. There may have been a typo. I would disregard any mention of zoom for this lens. It does not zoom to a different focal length; it stays at 30mm.

the ex210 has a 40x optical zoom also an 80 and 200x digital zoom. the greater the distance the lesser the quality of the image. how ever it is amazing. but note well, when zooming at great distance a tripod is need to stabilize the image. I am a police detective and I use it for surveillance and it is great.

I simply own the Lumix DMC-ZS30 and have sold an extra of the pack in discussion, so I might not be the best person to ask. However, according to Panasonic's website, the ZS19 uses a different model battery than the ZS30 (DMW-BCG10 versus the DMW-BCM13E).

Zoom range is 10mm to 30mm. Can shoot 8 fps in continuous mode, 1 if flash used

I would compare it to my smaller camera as a 10x zoom for the really good zoom go up to the next lens, I loved my photos at the Grand Canyon, Walking around I used the 30-110 and to zoom in on the river aprox 1 mile below I used my bigger lens 110-220, I like the polarize filter, It is great for outdoors, no glare and crisper color, email if you need more details
