How to select the right Panasonic point-and-shoot



The ZR series



With a long-zoom range and slim body, point-and-shoots in the ZR series are suitable for travelers. Initially, we found its specifications very similar to the TZ series, but Panasonic clarified that the ZR family is a complementing camera category and not a competitive product to the other Lumix lineups.

In this series


Lumix DMC-ZR1
The main draw for this 12-megapixel camera is that despite its thin body, Panasonic has managed to implement an 8x optical zoom lens which is widest at 25mm. The shooter also has a wide array of scene modes to help beginners start taking proper shots. As with most other Lumix compacts, the ZR1 comes with 720p-quality video recording in AVCHD compression to keep file sizes small so you can capture longer clips.

From a pretty long Nikon user, I switched to FX-33 wth the iA more than a year ago and absolutely no regrets. Very good for amateur photographers with no so steady hands =)

I didn't know there were external flashes available for the FZ series (I have the FZ18). I thought that was the realm of Canon compacts.

You also mis-labeled the FZ series as "LX Series"
