I would pick the Lumix, because of the longer zoom and longer battery life.

Okay, "I'll come out from behind the lens or camera!" Can't decide which one? I currently stick to two Brands, Canon and Sony for mirrorless. I have the Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon 5D Mark IV. In the Sony realm, NEX 5N and the A7R iii.

Oh, BTW if any Camera Manufacture is listening, If you come out with a Full Frame Mirrorless, I will be willing to try it out!

Yes, rcarol, the ZS100 has a 10x lens and a 1" sensor and many tricks in its sleeve. But I will say that some of the cameras with small sensors 1/4 that size do an amazing job [Canon SX50 for example]... The laptop computers contained within these small cameras is amazing and the resulting photos truly beyond that which the people with $5000 camera equipment dare know about. Camera choices are compromises... size, price, sensor, etc... a balancing act. I have the 40# bag of DSLR plus lens, but a 24/7 [you call point and shoot !!] fits in your jacket pocket... light weight, there when the of-the-moment occurs.

I am a researcher by profession [ok retired] and by nature... I decided on a Panasonic ZS100 based on watching evaluations and reading a lot of reviews. OK bought one and spent a bit more. There are two attachments for filters, one physical the other magnetic... both excellent I bought the mechanical [LensMate]. A 406 page manual, a 400 page how to book and you tube many videos. The ZS100 out ranks the ZS200 because of the Zoom and other factors. Yes the Sony is great but Much0$ more. PS: Trump increased the price of the ZS100 by $150 last weekend!! But I was able to find one for $500 [Gray import New]... $550 was typical [eg Best Buy], now $700 is the going price ! Yikes. who pays the Trump Tariffs... we do. Ouch !

[No that is not a political Troll, it is a statement of Camera pricing] I could have driven 7 miles to Best Buy and had one for $550 then Monday the price was $700... too late Don you knew the prices were going to jump...
Yes, rcarol, the ZS100 has a 10x lens and a 1"... (show quote)


Can you provide additional information on methods of attaching filters?

Lumix ZX-70. I'm more than satisfied with its image quality, despite its small sensor. Zoom range is a big plus for a go-anywhere pocket camera.

Thanks all for your input. Decided on the ZS70 as the better all around choice for travel and all around use for me.

If I might add to the fray here, as it were. Much has been said to endorse the Lumix ZS70, but what about the ZS60? It's essentially the same camera but with a couple more bells and whistles. But is it worth the extra cost over the ZS60?
