I have a Fuji X-e2s with Xf 18-55, and 18-135 lens (which I like very much)
Am considering Panasonic ZS 100 as a 'carry anywhere'- to consolidate weight and size.

Also have the new Nikon Z6 for more serious use.

I have the ZS100. The photos it takes are fine. The most important feature? It fits in my pocket! It sits in a small "glove box" in my car!

I have the ZS70. I second PHRubin's reply. Great little camera, fine build, 20 Pixels, very nice images, goes everywhere with me.

Just took a look at that ZS100 - I feel a GAS attack coming on. That’s a sweet little camera and it has a decent size 1” sensor! I may try to work a trade for my Canon Powershot G9 to get one.

Panny is good, however, I cannot tell you what to keep or sell. That is your choice.

Cheers!

Sounds like a great little pocket camera, "if you have the itch, gotta scratch it"... have fun!

Look at the Panasonic Lumix G95 (just released) and some of the over 100 Micro 4/3 lenses. You may find you can lighten your load considerably (from the Fujifilm setup), while maintaining flexibility and getting better quality than the ZS 100 yields.

The Z6 is fine for full frame, but if you don't already have that, look at the Lumix S1.

How large of a print can you make with only 20 Pixels?

ZS100 should not be viewed as a replacement for the X-E2s, but an addition right?

Yeah, we know he meant MEGApixels, right?

The frequency of typos, mistakes, and flub-ups of all kinds in posts here is funny, worrisome, disgusting, and even perfectly NORMAL. The Internet is a bulletin board example of our public's lack of language skills and absent-mindedness. Occasionally, we all resemble that remark...

Well, I was just looking for a 'smaller' camera to handle an everyday type situation without carrying and changing lenses. Are you suggesting just sticking with the Fuji?

Two different cameras for different purposes. If image quality is a priority over size, then stay with Fuji.

I own and thoroughly enjoy that same Fujifilm X-system (minus the 18-135) ~ and, you're correct; it's not a pocket-camera. The Panasonic ZS100, Sony RX100xxx type cameras are much better for EDC (every day carry). But, don't give up your Fuji gear, as it's a wonderful tool for a different purpose.
