> Travel-zoom with a 180° selfie tilt.

  • 20× zoom
  • Selfie LCD
  • Wi-Fi
  • Indie sleaze

The TZ55 is the 2014 Panasonic with a flip-up LCD that tilts 180° forward — the early-selfie-era trick before front cameras became standard. 20× zoom in a properly pocketable body.

16 megapixels through a MOS sensor — which is the spec that matters here. Flip the screen forward, frame your selfie, fire. Wi-Fi pushes straight to your phone. The exact 2014 setup that was *just* before the iPhone 6 made this kind of camera feel optional.

// cultural shelf

The flip-up LCD was the 2014 selfie answer — Panasonic, Sony, and Casio all built versions. This is the camera that took every brunch selfie that year before phones got front cameras good enough.

Questions

Things people ask

Does it come with a memory card?

No — bring your own SD or microSD. Standard sizes work; check the camera's max capacity in the spec sheet. We carry memory cards in store if you need one.

How do I get photos onto my phone?

Pull the SD card and use a card reader — or connect by USB cable. Most cameras of this era use mini-USB or micro-USB; the spec sheet inside System Properties tells you which.

Battery and charging?

Original or compatible battery, charged and verified working before sale. We note in the listing whether the original charger is included. Replacement batteries for most of these models are available aftermarket.

Is the camera tested before sale?

Yes — every used digital compact at GPP goes through our bench before listing. Battery confirmed, shutter cycled, sensor inspected, LCD verified. Honest condition notes are part of every listing — see the About window.

What's your return policy?

7-day functional return. If anything we declared isn't working as described, contact us within 7 days of receipt for a full refund or exchange. Wear-and-tear consistent with the listed condition isn't returnable.

Can I see the camera before I buy?

Always welcome. Visit Warehouse D36, Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz, Dubai. Open Monday to Saturday, 10am–7pm. Bring an SD card if you'd like to test-shoot on the spot.

Why do these cameras look the way they do?

CCD sensor + small lens + Y2K-era processing pipeline = the soft, slightly cool, slightly motion-blurry look that's all over TikTok right now. It's a hardware artifact, not a filter. The phone-can't-fake-it look you're chasing comes from cameras like this.
