Pocket sized pleasure
I have been very happy with my Canon Powershot S2 but wanted a pocket camera with some of the same features. There were two things I really needed: a 10 - 12 X lens and a flash-off override that would assure that the flash did not default to "on" when changing modes or restarting. The first was easy to find, but the flash issue was harder. I finally went into a local camera store and looked at various models and confirmed that the Lumix DMC ZS1 really had that function and not merely one that changed the setting temporarily.
When I got the Lumix home, I discovered that it had the third feature, too - The ability to bracket my shots, take three shots automatically at slightly different F-stop equivalents. I hadn't even tried to look for that feature in a pocket camera, even though it is one of my favorite features when in areas with uncertain or varying light. This camera greatly exceeds my expectations. And Amazon's prompt delivery let me shoot the fall colors before the leaves were gone, and capture many sunsets and the harvest moon rising.

Quick & Dirty Review
This camera is by far the best digital camera I've ever owned. If you want something that simply WORKS, and WORKS WELL... this is hands down a fantastic option!
I'm no professional photographer, far from it... and the fact that this camera lets me take professional-looking photos is phenomenal! Absolutely love it... GREAT bang for buck. Now I'm going to buy one for my wife too... hers will be silver though :).

Very good for travel, and general use
The ZS1 is a fine camera. I find the ZS1 to be a great camera for traveling for several reasons:
1) It is highly portable
2) It takes good images
3) It has good video (good still shots and respectable video combined in such a small size is a wonderful thing when you don't want to lug around a lot of gear.)
4) The wide angle lens is fun and useful
On the downside, the images are not "spectacular". The images are very good, just not great! So, if you want the eye-popping color and contrast offered by many SLR cameras/lenses, the ZS1 is not going to be able do that. However, compared to a few other point & shoots I have used, the ZS1's images are very good.
Also, as with most point & shoots, even the ZS1 cannot compare to the speed of picture-taking offered by an SLR. So, if you are taking a lot of pictures of children, sports, etc., point & shoots as a class sometimes miss the shot. The ZS1 is no different. I miss a lot of shots with the ZS1, because children do not like to sit still very long.
Video loses quality quickly in low-light, as is often the case, even with dedicated video cameras.
On balance, though, the ZS1 is a very good camera. If you want portability, very good images and video, and do not care too much about being able to snap images rapidly, then the ZS1 is an excellent choice. It is also a SUPERB choice for traveling when you do not want to carry a lot of gear - I took mine to France for 10 days. The ability to do still shots and video with one compact camera was AMAZINGLY pleasant.
All in all, I recommend the ZS1.

First impressions - super camera!
I'm a big Canon fan. Indeed I almost bought the SX120IS super zoom instead of this one. But I wanted the ability to have a super wide angle setting (25 mm) that the Canon camera just can't deliver. (The SX120IS only goes out to 36mm on the wide end.) Also, I saw in a number of reviews where the SX120IS exhibited higher than average barrel distortion on its wide angle zoom range whereas the Leica made lens on the Lumix ZS1 shines in exhibiting virtually none of the lens distortions that plague many zoom lenses.
Though I've only had the Lumix ZS1 for a few days, I can tell you this:
1. The Leica zoom lens on this camera really is as good as others have been raving about.
2. This camera takes great shots both indoors and out.
3. The build quality of this camera is excellent. It's nearly all metal in construction and very solid.
4. I'm not experiencing any of the useability problems that I've read in other reviews. The controls are
very well laid out. I don't have a problem with the dial placements or the menus or anything of that
nature.
Another criticism I've read about the ZS1 is that it doesn't have aperture or shutter priority picture taking modes. In my opinion, there are more than enough settings to obtain the desired shutter speed or aperture control that you would need. Indeed there is a minimum shutter speed setting readily available!
So far, in my early use of this camera, the only "fault" I can find (if you can call it that) is that the automatic white balance setting isn't always perfect in indoor light. This is true with any digital camera of course and there are ways to manually correct this.
Though I've been taking pictures for nearly 35 years, I haven't owned a lot of cameras. I tend to find a camera I like and then use it "forever". If these first impressions hold out, I'm going to be using my Lumix ZS1 for a good long time.

Panasonic Cameras HistoryPanasonic Corporation (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.) is a multinational corporation based in Kadoma, Japan.
Panasonic was founded in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita. The company was first selling duplex lamp sockets.
In 1931 began the production of radios. But earlier, in 1927, it produced a bicycle lamp, and it was their first product marketed under the brand name National – meaning for people, for nation. The production of road and touring bicycles and their components composed a substantial portion of the goods manufactured by National/Panasonic Corporation from 1945 through the end of the 1980s.
In 1955, the company labeled its export audio speakers "PanaSonic", which was the first time it used its "Panasonic" brand name. This name was created from the elements "pan" meaning "all" combined with "sonic" meaning "sound”.
After Konosuke Matsushita traveled to the United States in 1961, Panasonic began producing television sets for the U.S. market under the Panasonic brand name, and expanded the use of the brand to Europe in 1979. The company began opening its plants around the world. It quickly developed a reputation for its reliable products - televisions, radios, and home appliances.
In the 1980-s, Panasonic continued to produce <... More About Panasonic Cameras |
