Limitations
The Panasonic DMC-ZS25 uses a relatively small 1/2.3-inch sensor, which can limit low-light performance compared to larger sensor cameras. The fixed lens design restricts options for lens interchangeability, thus limiting creative flexibility. Battery life, although adequate for casual use, may require carrying extra batteries for extended sessions. The camera lacks a built-in electronic viewfinder, which can be a drawback in bright outdoor conditions where LCD visibility may be reduced. Manual controls, while present, are somewhat limited compared to advanced cameras, potentially restricting advanced photographers. Lastly, the Wi-Fi capabilities do not support the latest wireless standards, which may affect connection speed and compatibility with newer devices.
