Key Advantages

The DC-TZ90's 30x optical zoom lens provides exceptional reach in a compact body, ideal for travel photography. The inclusion of 4K video shoots and 4K Photo modes offers advanced video and photography options. Its tilting touchscreen LCD and high-resolution electronic viewfinder enhance usability and versatility in various shooting angles. The camera's compact form factor makes it highly portable without compromising on feature set. The MOS sensor delivers good image quality in well-lit conditions. Built-in Wi-Fi facilitates easy connectivity, enhancing transfer and camera control.

Limitations

Due to the relatively small 1/2.3-inch sensor size, image quality in low-light conditions is limited, with noticeable noise at higher ISO settings. The camera lacks a built-in flash hot shoe for external flash accessories, limiting flash flexibility. Autofocus performance may struggle in very low light or fast action scenes. Battery life is modest and might require carrying additional batteries for extended use. The camera body is mostly constructed from plastic, affecting durability compared to higher-end models. The absence of weather sealing reduces reliability in adverse environmental conditions.
