The Panasonic TZ90’s superzoom will make your holiday look more exciting than it was

“Wow, I can't believe you got so close to that erupting volcano..."

Prime lenses are great, but what if you’re a timid tourist who wants to zoom into the holiday action without carrying a big lump of a camera? The Lumix TZ90 (£399, from June) has staked its claim to be the first name on your luggage list. No smartphone can match its mix of 30x optical zoom, 4K video recording and a 20.3MP sensor. And if you absolutely must take selfies, the 3in touchscreen now flips round to face forwards and capture your shiny, bronzed face. There’s even a special panorama selfie mode for making sure you’re in the centre of a sweeping landscape, and Wi-Fi to help you send it quickly to work colleagues. They love it when you do that.

About

Mark's first review for Stuff was the Nokia N-Gage in 2004. Luckily, his career lasted a little longer than the taco phone, and he's been trying to figure out how gadgets fit back into their boxes ever since. While his 'Extreme Mark Wilson' persona was retired following a Microsoft skydiving incident, this means he can often be spotted in the wilds of South West London testing action cams, drones and smartwatches, and occasionally cursing at them.

Areas of expertise
