Note that I did not deduct any points for this issue since it was rectified immediately and the replacement camera works fine.

I would recommend the Lumix ZS100 for anyone seeking a powerful point and shoot camera.
I was so excited to get this camera because it's the first really good point and shoot that I've invested some money in.
Also I believe it is the only compact "point and shoot" camera on the market with both a large 1 inch sensor (approaching DSLR size) and a 10x optical zoom

What I was disappointed about in the ZS 40 and ZS 50 was that they did not have a "vivid" or "happy" mode that would work in the program mode or other modes
They had a "creative" mode that would add saturation, but only in that mode
The ZS 100 has brought that back (although it does not work in every mode, like in the creative modes)
It has some really nice creative modes, like the glistening water ( it puts sparkles on whatever is shining brightest).
The creative mode can make an ordinary photograph transform into something special and even do video in creative mode.

It's far too fragile to be a good travel camera and if you plan to go to the tropics, deserts, beaches, or places where there is a strong possibility of rain, you risk severely damaging the camera.
This is the best travel camera I've ever owned, and arguably the best that exists - period
, the IQ is fine for me and it's a great traveling companion
It is a perfect travel camera - small but adequate aoom.
The Lumix does not have as fast a lens and is considerably heavier and larger, also the viewfinder is not as good as on the Sony; nevertheless I bought the ZS100 as it is much less

The ZS100 is a little larger but still a good travel camera size, especially considering the 1" sensor and 10X zoom range
This camera is enough to make a seasoned DSLR user happy: excellent features, options, flexibility, and compact size that makes it easier to travel with.
I loved the size and the long zoom (30x) but the lens added distortion and artifacts, especially when zoomed all the way in
The good: Takes very decent photos in a very very compact size
Overall, I like the size, photo quality and video quality of the ZS100 quite a bit

Quick focus and shutter so you will not lose the shot and shoots well in low light.
Using shutter priority mode, you can set a shutter speed of somewhere between 1/40-1/125 and an ISO of 1200 or 1600 and almost always get a very clear, well lit shot
I previously owned a Panasonic DMC-TZ5 which I bought many years ago as the salesperson at the camera store said it had the best zoom for a point and shoot at that time which is what I wanted for concert pictures.
10x zoom is enough to get you a fairly clear shot of the band on stage, from almost any point in any venue
However, there are many times that it simply takes too long and the shot is missed if it is all done manually, especially given the clunkiness of manual controls on a camera of this type

Thinking about all the pros and cons of the camera that reviewers have mentioned AND that I have experienced, I am happy with my decision and would definitely recommend this camera to someone who wanted a compact, easy to carry and use camera with great features.
The most disappointing factor is the wifi function - it is by far the most exhausting features of any camera I dealt with
The ZS100 has many great features such as an improved EVF, 10X zoom, touch screen, 4K video
I'm only an amateur photographer but other poorly designed features include:-On/off button: its literally right next to the mode dial and before I even could turn the camera on since I was waiting for the battery to charge after removing it from the box, the switch went from on to off when I first turned the mode dial
This camera is enough to make a seasoned DSLR user happy: excellent features, options, flexibility, and compact size that makes it easier to travel with.

The only feature I wish it had was a higher frame rate video to do ultra slow motion video
The one thing I did like about the camera was the image stabilization in video mode since when I was moving around, the video wasn't shaky even though the focus did suffer
Better battery life than I expected, amazing video quality and rich vibrant stills.
the ZS100 takes much better photos and much better video than the ZS50
Problem is that current iMovie "optimizes" video without a button to remove optimization, so videos looked choppy.

This allows you to take a picture and afterwards you can change the focus point from something close in view to a further point or vice versa and capture the exact picture you want.4k video is also available but be advised that the image stabilizer does not work in this mode
The sensor is 4X larger than the average compact megazoom and I'd say the picture is 4X better and even though the zoom is only 10X the digital zoom maxed out and cropped can easily get you to 30X with BETTER image quality than the standard compact megazoom
1 Inch bsi sensor allows sharper images and better low light image and video quality much better than the tiny 1/2.3in
My one complaint about this camera is that the HDR mode does a poor job of aligning the 3 images, resulting in an unusable image at least 1/2 of the time
I read some reviews that complained about mediocre image quality.

An error message appeared on the screen that said “System Error (Zoom)”.
Now for the problem: Having the camera for a month, I suddenly received a "System Error Zoom" message.
and I got the dreaded "System Error: Zoom" message on the screen.
