I have used the DMC-FZ20 at work, which has performed flawlessly. I purchased the DMC-LZ1 camera... from Cnet.com if you're in the market for an affordable digital camera with optical image stabilization, the Panasonic LZ1 could be the camera for you. from Digicamreview.co.uk Pros: Low price, 6x optical zoom, compact, optical image stabilization, speed, image quality Cons: Chromatic aberration and vignetting in corners at wide angle, slight corner softness The Bottom Line: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1 is an inexpensive, yet very versatile 4-Megapixel optically stabilized camera with 6x optical zoom.

I was afraid I would miss the 3200's easy to use menus, but I haven't looked back at all. Panasonic has built itself an easy to use winner. The 6x zoom is one of the main features I like best. from Pricegrabber.com This camera has performed flawlessly.

I was afraid I would miss the 3200's easy to use menus, but I haven't looked back at all. Panasonic has built itself an easy to use winner. The 6x zoom is one of the main features I like best. from Onsale.com The resolution I'd seen from this camera is on par with what I have observed from the Leica Digilux models and the Contax TVS digital camera. In short, this is extraordinary performance from a 4 MP digital camera. Panasonic's latest digital camera comes with a Leica Vario-Elmarit lens, which is as good as the Leica and Zeiss lenses I have seen on other digital cameras. If I had some money to spare as well as space in my camera bag, I wouldn't hesitate buying this little optical jewel of a digital camera. from Amazon.com Up until now, nothing has come close. Then I read in Business Week that the LZ1 and LZ2 had become the best selling cameras in Japan within several months of their introduction. No independant reviews were available (even CNET) so I bought the LZ1 on the strength of it's technical spec's and my previous experiences with Panasonic products. I took the LZ1 to the rodeo several days ago to test it under demanding conditions. from Amazon.com
