Description

The ZS100 is an excellent travel camera due to it's small size but still packs a lens with a large focal length range.  The ZS100 is similar to the ZS60 which offers a 30x zoom and is less expensive. However, the ZS60 has a smaller sensor.

Pros:

  • Hybrid optical image stabilization
  • USB Charging
  • Inclusion of a viewfinder is good

Cons:

  • EVF is small and could use improvement
  • Lens's max aperture is slow at the long end
  • Focus can be soft at times
  • Does not have a tilting LCD
