I hope what is wrong with the Panasonic can be fixed by a future firmware update or some such magic since I really love shooting with this camera

No fuss nor muss, just a sharp, vibrant shot almost every time

For example: if you forget that you've turned on macro mode, you will not understand why the zoom will not go advance beyond optical zoom to advanced digital zoom; if you turn on silent shooting mode, you can't use the flash.

Happy shooting, Rick

This one has the shortest zoom, but the clarity of that 1 inch sensor and 4k video shooting as well as shooting stills while recording can't be beat!!!!
