Lumix ZS300 overview
The Panasonic Lumix ZS300 is a 20.1 MP 1-inch compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Panasonic in March 2026.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel and everyday carry. It is a weaker pick for all-day shooting on one battery, paid jobs that need a backup card and eye-level shooting in bright sun.
New, it sells for $789.99 to $899.99 at the 5 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $699.95. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $790 to $898 new.
Worth comparing it with the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III, Sony RX100 VII and Panasonic Lumix ZS99.

Low light & noise
2.4 µm pixels
20.1 MP on a 1" sensor, ISO up to 12,800
Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
- Photons to Photos: dynamic range vs ISO ↗Photographic dynamic range measured at every ISO, bodies on one chart
- Photons to Photos: noise vs ISO ↗Read noise at every ISO from lab tests: lower is cleaner in the shadows
- DPReview studio scene ↗The same scene shot by each camera at the ISO you pick, side by side
- DPReview reviews ↗Full reviews with high-ISO samples
- Low-light video tests ↗Real-world high-ISO footage on YouTube
How it stacks up
- 360 shots — longer battery life than 60% of the 1" compact (fixed lens) cameras we list
