SeekerPanasonic LUMIX ZS80
The Panasonic LUMIX ZS80 is okay for travel photography. Image quality is okay straight out of the camera, but the camera is limited by its small sensor. Its photo autofocus system does a great job tracking moving subjects and keeping them in focus, but it can lose track of faster-moving subjects. The built-in lens has a long zoom range, which gives you some versatility to capture far-off subjects. The camera is also very portable, though its battery life may not be long enough to last long days on the go.

Get the Panasonic Lumix ZS80 if you're looking for a good all-around compact zoom that's reasonably priced.

The ZS80 / TZ95 isn't a particularly significant update on what we've seen before in the TZ line, but it's blessed with very fast AF system, great build quality and a perfectly serviceable viewfinder. As with any camera with such a small sensor, image quality can be hit and miss, but this is still one of the better cameras of its kind.
