That said, the Panasonic TZ90 is not quite an “every” pocket camera – if you have reasonably tight trousers, you might struggle with the TZ90, but a loose jean, and certainly a jacket, will accommodate. It’s not surprising that the compact isn’t particularly thin, considering it is housing a 30x optical zoom. This manages to retract almost completely inside the camera housing – an impressive feat, but this means that it takes around a second for the camera to be ready to shoot from being switched on. If you’re likely to be taking a lot of photos in quick succession, you may want to leave the camera switched on.

The top of the camera also sees a zoom switch around the shutter release, which feels reasonably sturdy. There’s also the on/off button, and a video record button. Unfortunately because the video record button is roughly the same size as the on/off button, it can be quite easy to confuse the two if you’re not looking properly, leading to the odd accidental video on occasion.
A mode dial lets you choose between the different exposure modes on offer for the Panasonic Lumix DC-TZ90. There’s full manual mode, as well as semi-automatic options like aperture priority and shutter priority. There’s also an automatic option, creative control mode, scene modes and panoramic option to choose from. You’ll also see a mode labelled “C”, which allows you to save a group of custom settings and can be useful if you often find yourself shooting one type of subject (for example low light).
