Whether you're travelling remote landscapes or trekking through busy streets, the impressive 30x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit zoom allows you to truly capture everything when you're away from the action. This is complemented nicely by the powerful 5-axis image stabilization that ensures steady shooting with minimal shake at all times. This powerful imaging power is packed within an ultraslim design that you won't even notice when you slip into your bag or luggage. Elsewhere, the camera has both a Live View Finder and touchscreen LCD monitor that allow you to effortless review and navigate, even in the brightest lighting conditions. Topped off in a classic silver and black finish, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 is the ideal point-and-shoot camera for travellers.
