New Panasonic TZ/ZS-series compact-zooms with 20x and 16x

Just like previous years, late January means new Panasonic TZ-series superzooms. Today they have announced two new TZ/ZS-series models! They have all sorts of different names. The European names are TZ31/TZ30 and TZ25. The Japanese name is TZ30. The US names are ZS20 and ZS15. We are still not sure what the Marklar names are ;-)

The cameras have 14mp and 12mp MOS sensors respectively with 20x and 16x optical zoom lenses starting at 24mm equivalent. They are now available for pre-order at Amazon.
