I bought this camera for my girlfriend. As long as you know what you're doing (and shoot during the day!) this camera will give you fantastic results in both video and photo. I'm an enthusiast photographer and filmmaker who uses DSLR cameras and I'm impressed with some of the footage from this compact camera. (PRO tip: for talking head vlogging - Disable constant focus, half press the shutter once to focus your face and start recording... If you don't disable this function, the camera will focus and defocus even when you're not moving).
Juan Pablo Ayala (Filmmaker) Hi, I am a UA-camr and I have bought this camera and I was recording my first video on it and it had this crackling sound what is very noticed it is really sad as I was working my butt off to save for this and I just don’t know how to fix it. Please help me if you can. Bye! ❤️
Thank you for posting this video. I was considering getting this camera for an upcoming trip. Your video answered all my concerns and I have made up my mind to get the camera.
Hi Daniel, I'm planning to make a hiking/travelling vlog so I'll be facing a lot of wind and noises. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of video quality for its audio. I prefer to not go with something too expensive or too large. What would you recommend? Thanks!
+Akid Rosli hey there. Thanks for watching. I would go for a Sony HX90 instead. Has a bit more zoom and the audio is better. You cant to anything against the noises of a wind without having an external microphone. ua-cam.com/video/8HOFa2ZjeUM/v-deo.html
Is the mic good for making vlogs? I want to record vlog on disney world or a mall you know? But I need a cheap camera that is good for vlogging like this. I love panasonic dmc zs45 but im afraid... the mic... I dont know... What should I do? Brazil here!!! Bad english hahaha
+Érika Nasser I went to disneyworld with it about a week ago but please dot buy it for vlogging. The sound has a lot of background noise and isn't worth it for vlogging
Hi, it is very informative. Thanks. I have a 6d and I am thinking of buying a camera which can take photos and videos but in good quality, to save my 6d from family excursion, holidays near the lake, etc. Can you please recommend this camera or anything good for this price? The quality is still important. Many thanks.
@@the_daniel_life thanks daniel! I just bought the camera second hand to record my roadtrip. I am happy with it till now. In the night quality gets extremely lower as you already mentioned in your video, but thats fine for me. for now at least :) One thing.. I can't seem to be able to find how to pause a video and record again instead of recording a new video everytime. Isn't this an option?
So i am looking for a new camera as mine recently broke so im wondering what would be better, to get another DMC-SZ10 or the DMC-TZ57? do they both use the same charging connector? and is the body good enough to be placed on the floor without breaking? (my sz10 was placed on the floor for less than 5 seconds because i saw ants and didnt want my camera breaking so i picked it up and the lens was popping out so i removed the lens cover but its really fiddly to use) (Edit over a year later) i ended up getting the zs45/tz57 and its great, the charging cables are the same its stronger aswell
+the daniel life Could you recomend some cameras that are ultra compact? (The word ultra compact means 1/2 the thickness of a sony rx series but still have a large sensor) I am looking for a camera that can go in back jeans pocket without pushing lol. Trying to decide whether to ditch the camera and buy cell phone with best camera, but they usually can bend and break. Love your videos!
Hey, the camera I really love is the Canon PowerShot G5 X ua-cam.com/video/pvWnLwDN--M/v-deo.html One thing I did not like about it, was the missing port to attach an external microphone.
Hi - Thanks for sharing your review. What's your opinion of using the ZS45 for vlogging and selfie vlog shots? How's the overall video quality? Have you noticed a hiss sound while recording videos?
hey there, you are very welcome and thanks for watching my video/s. It`s obviously not the best one. It does it`s job, but this camera has it`s low set limits as well, one of them is the poor audio quality during video recording. Does it have to be that small? What do you want to spend?
Need to find how to get back off to clean sensor. I have removed screws but unable to remove back it is stuck at the top and I am scared I will break it if I pull the back. It is loosened all round. Frustrating.
Hello, I also have this camera TZ57, but I was wondering if it can be used as a webcam on a laptop since it has a HDMI output port. You know.. like for a livestream setup. I looked into some capture devices such as the Elgato camlink, but they don't have this model in their compatibility list. Do you perhaps know any way to connect it to my laptop as a webcam?
+Caroline Firkins I`m not sure about this feature at the moment. Why not checking out the Panasonic website. Yes it`s good for vlogging, if you want a cheap version for it
i have used both cameras (the sz10 for about 4 years and got the tz57 a little while ago) and the 1080p on the tz57 is better than the 720p on the lumix sz10 so for vlogging i would choose the tz57
I need help, my camera isn't letting me connect my phone to the camera for wifi , it just says connection failed after like 20 seconds , I tried so many times
It can't record in 60/120/240 fps so you can't get natural slow motion. You best you could do is try to "edit" slow motion but into 30fps footage, it might not be the cleanest.
the daniel life WOuld it be good for like making pokemon go vlogs or like vacation vlogs? those are my plans for it and i dont want to spend a decent amount of money if its not good for me and thanks!
If you want this camera to make videos with or vlogs DO NOT GET IT! For one simple reason, the mic is absolutely trash it just make a buzzing sound at all time and it very annoying. Love how all these reviews forgot to mention that. Don't waste your money
the easiest way would be to shoot a video and speed it up in post that way if something happens during the video you can stop the timelapse and have audio
HAHA sorry my bad. Today I think completely differnt. I understood how the system works back in 2019. When I asked questions and found them somewhere else, and not in lamestream media anymore. Daniel

Oh no idea :) Daniel
why does the indicated kind of camera on the actual video is dmc-tz58 while on the name of this video is tz57?
hey there are three different names for this camera, but it is still the same. Daniel
Hi again wx350 is the same as hx50 or hx50 is better ?
Hi, thank you for your review. I have a problem, i can't use manual mode for exposure in video recording. How can I resolve this? Thank you very much.
thanks for the video !
Is that camera really an improvment compared to the Samsung MV800 ?
thanks
+Everyday Mia year absolut. The technique inside the MV800 is more than five years old. kind regards, daniel
+the daniel life Do you know where we can find it ? ( it's not available on Amazon.fr )
Go to Amazon fr and search for panasonic tz58
I found it. It`s named different in Europe than in the US
Nice video but I have one question: Can I make a break during filming like a cut? Cheers from Germany:)
Nice channel Name! Lol
Thank you!
i was in frankfurt last year!

The sound has a lot of background noise and isn't worth it for vlogging
+Érika Nasser I think, if you stay home, it`s alright in a close environment, but not for outside as Ashwin said.
thank you guys! Do you recomend another one? (cheap, with the flip out lcd and 1080p) I know I'm asking too much haha
I want that aswell, but can't find it
yeah!!!!! Im so exhausted of searching for a camera like this :(
love it thanks

Hey there,
thank you very much, for watching and commenting on this video.
Do you still need a flipscreen?
+the daniel life. not really. 😌
Hello, I read that with the DMC-TZ57 you can hear to the zoom motor in your videos, if you have zoomed while filming! is this the case? Thank you :)
Hello, this is true. It must be really quit thou. Under normal circumstances I don‘t see it as a real problem. Daniel

Would you recommend it for use in 2021?
I'm doing lots of vlogs very soon, I might get this one, any more details?
Hey there, nice. Check out the Panasonic website. One advice take care about the MIC, some people say the microphone gets noisy outside.
the daniel life ok thanks
Welcome!

Thanks for the comment. No idea mate, sorry. I would go with the RX by Sony. Daniel
Is it just me or does the tz57 doesn't record wide angle I've tried to change settings but it doesn't change
It might crop in a bit. Daniel
@@the_daniel_life it works now thanks I basically needed the memory card in which is strange
which flip screen camera would you recommend, considering a good mic or the possibility of using an additional one?
Hey, the camera I really love is the Canon PowerShot G5 X ua-cam.com/video/pvWnLwDN--M/v-deo.html

Does it have to be that small? What do you want to spend?
I'm looking for a small camera which doesn't have audio issues when recording videos. The Canon G7X makes a whirring grinding sound.
How much do you want to spend? Are you also up for a cheap DLSR?
Somewhere in the price range of the ZS45 to G7X. What cheap DSLR would you recommend?
Where are you located? USA, Europe, Asia?
0:57 съёмка на эту камеру? 1:51 классное фото. 2:30 стабилизация плохая? -видео рябит(размыто).
sorry not idea what you are saying. Daniel
@@the_daniel_life 0:57 shooting with this camera? 1:51 I like this photo. 2:30 stabilization bad? - video ripples(blurry)
How can i record on the resolution 1920x1080? Sorry for bad english
+Jelmar go to the menu and video settings.
No i must decided beatween tz70 or hx60 ? What do you recommend?
TZ70
Which is better canon g7x or this camera (Panasonic DMC-zs45) and what is cheaper? Thanks hope you reply
ItsMadie I'd say canon is better but much more expensive
How Long Can It Record, I'm Looking To Start Vlogging, Maybe Each 10minutes Long Or So
Don`t worries. I think it was 15 minutes or 29m and 59s.
Hope that helps, thanks for watching.
@@the_daniel_life so you can't record more that 15 minutes
Ive got 2 questions
Is the memory good and can you upgrade it
Is this camera better that the Panasonic Lumiz TZ-55
I look forward to your reply :D
Hey,
it`s better in generals than the TZ-55.
You need to buy a SD card. But I mean a 32GB card cost you 20€ so easy.
Daniel
Que tarjeta SD usas
What?
hows the mic? wanting to buy this but need to make sure the audio quality is good enough without an external mic! thank you x
+Alexa Wilkinson good, as long as there is no wind. Otherwise get the Sony HX90
Need to find how to get back off to clean sensor. I have removed screws but unable to remove back it is stuck at the top and I am scared I will break it if I pull the back. It is loosened all round. Frustrating.
It is the DMC-TZ57
I'm thinking of getting this camera or the Nikon coolplix s6900 but I need help?? Thoughts on which one is better?
I did not try the S6900 yet. Hmm I`m trying to getting it. But the TZ57 was really nice and easy to work with.
Daniel

Hello, I was about to recommend the Elgato as well. I would try it out. Daniel
Are you going to use it with Twitch? Daniel
Sony Hx50 od tz57 which is better?
I would take the Sony camera
so a friend of mine gave me one of these cameras. Does anyone know if it's possible to use it as a webcam?
Hello, yes, with an HDMI-Recorder or a connection to your computer, like this one here -> ua-cam.com/video/EcYzVHzWr-w/v-deo.html
@@the_daniel_life thankyou. soprry for late response. i was never informed of your response.
Hi is it waterproof? Thanks for the nice vid by the way
+Jasper Speelt Thank you. The answer is NO, to cheap to be water proofed
Does it have auto focus in video mode? Do you think it's good for vlogging?! Thanks!
+Caroline Firkins I`m not sure about this feature at the moment. Why not checking out the Panasonic website.
Yes it`s good for vlogging, if you want a cheap version for it
Kann man ein microphone mit einem USB Kabel an die Kamera befestigen
Nein, leider nicht.

@@the_daniel_life scheiße aber danke
Panasonic Lumix DMC-tz57 OR Lumix DMC-sz-10 ??? I cant choose :( which one is better ?
Go for the DMC-TZ57. Viele Grüße, Daniel
i have used both cameras (the sz10 for about 4 years and got the tz57 a little while ago) and the 1080p on the tz57 is better than the 720p on the lumix sz10 so for vlogging i would choose the tz57
Elpixion Jack Hi, I just want tz57 only for selfies and short videos, not for vlogging 🙈 I wanted to buy some budget camera as tz57 only for selfies .
Can I get the video on my phone as well as photos
+Lady Polly yes you can
Can I record in 60 fps with this camera?
Yes, it does feature 1080/60fps
Canon SX620 or Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ57 ?????
TZ57 due to the nice screen, Daniel
can you do blurry background when you do vlogging?
Not really because you are missing the open aperture. Try this ua-cam.com/video/bdHCMBb4cPE/v-deo.html
Can u add a microphone to this camera and extra lens
simple answer - no :) thanks for watching
I need help, my camera isn't letting me connect my phone to the camera for wifi , it just says connection failed after like 20 seconds , I tried so many times
Okay. Reset the WiFi settings of your camera first and try it again. If it does not help reset the WiFi settings of your phone.
okay thank you i appreciate it!
is there any microphone i can connect to it
NOPE.
the daniel life oh ok thanks
+Rasat welcome,
Daniel
dont worry though as lumix cameras tend to have good mics my sz10 from 2014 or 15 has better mic quality then the RX100 (sony)
When u record does the audio works on the video
+Royale of course it does. Greetings from the UK
Is this good to record live music show like a mini concert ? Thank you ,sorry for my English.
+moose noot it will work out
What's name of the camera DMC-TZ57 or DMC-TZ58? In the VDO that show TZ58 but on the heading you write is TZ57.
+moose noot same camera different names in the EU and US
Thank you :)
Is that video recorded with Panasonic ?
Hello,
this video was recorded with my 5D Mark II.
ua-cam.com/video/pxZ7xHrcGe0/v-deo.html
See this link for more details.
Daniel
So connecting my camera to my phone, the videos I make will go to my phone,
just if you want to do so
Does it has a good microfone
Not as good as an external one but good enought for most scenarios
Where can I buy this camera in Australia?
+Liv Dawson Check out paxtons in Sydney. They do have an onlineshop as well with a variety of Panasonic Models
what did you record this video with?
+TheHuntedGhost Canon EOS 5D Mark II
can i get good slow motion?
It can't record in 60/120/240 fps so you can't get natural slow motion.
You best you could do is try to "edit" slow motion but into 30fps footage, it might not be the cleanest.
is the audio good ?
Kind of noise sometimes, outside really noticable
Is the mic good? What about storage
for a closed environment >YES< as long as you have no background noise
the daniel life WOuld it be good for like making pokemon go vlogs or like vacation vlogs? those are my plans for it and i dont want to spend a decent amount of money if its not good for me and thanks!
I think you should be fine then with this camera.
can the ZS45 record videos?
+Bai Halvorson YES, didn't you see these sample videos?
topinka
+Filip Parkour thanks. Daniel
If you want this camera to make videos with or vlogs DO NOT GET IT! For one simple reason, the mic is absolutely trash it just make a buzzing sound at all time and it very annoying. Love how all these reviews forgot to mention that. Don't waste your money
thanks for that impression. I think the microphone does just a good job in a room without disturbing background noises
In my experience the best thing you can do is work with an external lavalier mic.
its fine for me
I heard the buzzing is only heard on the device playback but not on computer
can I use it as a webcam?
No, does not work.
Daniel
can a tripod go on it?
Of course you can.
Any shutter lag?
+Kaya Gucmen hey there. I did not notice any shutter lag
this camera has time lapse function?
+Maramamiaus can't remember, but I think it did not have such a feature
the easiest way would be to shoot a video and speed it up in post that way if something happens during the video you can stop the timelapse and have audio
Is the microphone good?
If not is there a external mic for it?
+Collin Recore hello, the internal mic is ok for shooting. take care of too loud areas. There is no external plug for a microphone
