THE GOOD The Panasonic's ZS100's 10x zoom lens is thus far the longest we've seen in a compact camera with a 1-inch sensor, and it offers a broad set of features including 4K video.
THE BAD It lacks a flip-up display and its autofocus speed is just middling.
THE BOTTOM LINE The Pansonic ZS100 offers great blend of quality, size and features for people who want better photos and are willing to trade off a little quality for a lot of lens.


THE GOOD The $199 Kuna Toucan outdoor camera connects to the included Smart Socket light bulb adapter via USB so you don't have to bother with batteries or a power cord. It has a very discreet design and a built-in 100-decibel siren for an extra dose of deterrence.
THE BAD Kuna's Smart Socket adapter made the light bulb extend past the bottom of my wall light. The Toucan relies on the light fixture for illumination rather than infrared LEDs, it doesn't work with smart home products from other manufacturers and its motion sensor was too sensitive.
THE BOTTOM LINE If you're looking to add a low-maintenance outdoor camera to your home security setup, Kuna's Toucan could easily fit the bill.
