The best camera is the one you will carry

As a full frame DLSR owner with a heavy zoom lens, I was looking for a smaller camera which I would actually take with me on hikes and bike rides. The ZS100 fits the bill. It packs quite a feature set in a small package. It will easily fit in large pockets, can be used discretely, and is light enough to carry on a long hike. I liked how the zoom has good reach, and the fact that it produces raw files was a plus for me since I like to make adjustments afterwards. The picture shown is after using Cyberlink's PhotoDirector (similar to Lightroom) to pull out more details, which is a great aspect of having RAW files. I noticed Canon's equivalent camera in this category only had JPEGs.
I found the zoom impressive, and it's my first camera with an electronic viewfinder. Oh my, how did I live without this! Image quality is pleasing. It can't compete with a DSLR in low light but still does ok, though I find image really nice when enough light is present.

I would recommend this to a friend!

What's the different s between the Panasonic -Lumix DCM - ZS 100 and the Panasonic Lumix DC ZS 70k camera, considering the big differents in price.
The cameras are very similar on paper, both with rich feature sets. The main difference is that the ZS100 has a larger sensor and a slightly larger wide-open aperture. Therefor the ZS100 will have better image quality and will hold up better in lower light conditions. On the other hand the ZS70 has a longer zoom, which could be an advantage depending on your needs. I just bought the ZS100 and I find the zoom is very usable at it's most extended setting in well lit conditions without needing to use a tripod. I am curious how the ZS70 performs at max zoom and it was very tempting to buy, for its long reach.
