Panasonic’s new compact is a familiar travelzoom but with a crucial feature missing

Panasonic has announced the Lumix DC-ZS300, which will be known as the TZ300 outside North America. It’s a pocketable compact with a 15x, 24-360mm equiv zoom lens in front of a Type 1 (13.2 x 8.8mm) BSI CMOS sensor. But, unlike its predecessor, there’s no viewfinder if your travel takes you to sunnier climes.
