I AM A VERY FREQUENT USER OF LUMIX BY PANASONIC.. STARTING WITH TZ1... from Amazon.com yet. Fixing on iA position (or another) will make you need to check this position every time after switch-on touching, because their close location. BTW, Panasonic (in this class) is # 1 in Japan. The camera being manufactured in Japan has a better (in average) quality. from Amazon.com The Canon had too much in the overiding category... I would have been paying for something I never needed before. Also...the Panasonic has a Leica lens... I would have considered a Sony...which has a Zeiss lens...maybe Leica is better...but not one Sony point and shoot had a large zoom. from Amazon.com Unfortunately, it was returned as the auto focus in auto mode produced many blurry photos. I was really waiting for the Casio EX-H10 but it was not available in time for my trip. My next purchase was the Panasonic DMC-ZS1 and I am totally pleased with its performance. My biggest surprise was the 12x optical zoom. from Amazon.com I can't remember how many Panasonic Lumix models I have had now... 3? from Amazon.com - though there are no manual controls to speak of I tend to mainly rely on exposure compensation and the camera's regular normal mode makes that very easy; and there are ISO settings as well If I have a complaint it is that Panasonic's latest firmware (1.2) does not permit the use of third-party batteries, something that Panny really doesn't tell us, nor did the seller I purchased a clone from. Aggravating. from Amazon.com After having used a wide range of Point & Shoot Digicams from different companies, the one camera that has always given me consistent performance in terms of great pictures and good battery life is a Panasonic Lumix FX01, which I have been using since 2006. So, when the time came for upgrading my camera, Panasonic was on the top of my list of manufacturers. from Amazon.com There had been a prior review where it is reported that the internal battery usually lasted one day before needing recharging. Since I vacation as a bicyclist with trailer and utilize campsites, I would have to buy a large quantity of spare batteries. The last Panasonic I owned was a really good camera but the moisture and rain in Oregon did something to the innards and there usally is a brown splotchy area right in the middle of the picture. I am on the hunt for a camera that uses AA size batteries; has the best megapixel and longestPanasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 10MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Black) range optical lens. from Amazon.com As I read reviews for many cameras, all brands had good and bad reviews. So I went with the one I know. My older panasonic was such a great camera that I decided to buy the newer version and I have not been disappointed! You just can not go wrong with this camera! from Amazon.com Shot 300 photos today and battery indicator didn't even go down one bar. Will it explode in the future? I don't know I just resent the hell out of Panasonic not letting me decide if I don't want to buy their branded battery for more. from Amazon.com

Description

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 has a sensor resolution of 10.1 effective megapixels from a 1/2.33" RGB CCD image sensor, and Panasonic has coupled this to an image stabilized, Leica DC Vario-Elmar branded 12x optical zoom lens with an excellent 25mm-equivalent wide angle. There's sadly no optical viewfinder, but this is perhaps understandable given the strength of the zoom.
