    Not Perfect but a Major Step Forward
    I wanted this camera badly, so I bought it a day or two after it became available. It was through Amazon, but the order was fulfilled by Focus Camera. The ZS100 arrived in a few days (seemed a little slow on the shipping) and immediately there were problems out of the box. I got lots of error messages just trying to do the initial setup. I did get it set up and took a couple of photos, but was getting error messages and freeze ups every minute or so. So the same day I received it, I shipped it back to Focus Camera for a refund. Once the camera arrived at Focus, the refund was slow in coming and I was not reimbursed for the return shipping. I eventually got the refund and Amazon reimbursed for the shipping after I complained.The camera was in short supply and I wanted it badly for an upcoming assignment (a paying photography gig), so I ordered a replacement from Adorama. That one came promptly with a carton full of accessories -- and the camera worked perfectly out of the box. On to the review of the Panasonic ZS100:I like it... I really like it. I have had several Panasonic ZS series cameras starting with the ZS7, but the last one I got (the ZS50) was not nearly as good as I expected. It's photos were just fair at best, although video was pretty good. I loved the size and the long zoom (30x) but the lens added distortion and artifacts, especially when zoomed all the way in. I knew what I needed: I wanted to trade some zoom length for a bigger sensor. That's exactly what the ZS100 is, and it works much as I expected.The Panasonic ZS100 has a "1-inch" sensor, which works out to a diagonal of about 16mm. That doesn't sound that big, but it has something like four times the area of the sensor in the ZS50 (which is a 1/2.3 inch sensor). More area means bigger pixels that have better light gathering ability, which means lower noise and higher resolution from less optical interference. This sounds complex, but I can tell you that it works -- the ZS100 takes much better photos and much better video than the ZS50. Of course, it costs quite a bit more.What I like about photos from the ZS100:-Excellent clarity and color-Much better in low light than a small-sensor camera. The ZS100 really is usable to ISO1600.-The flash on the ZS100 is excellent. It's a pop-up flash that lines up with the lens almost exactly, eliminating ugly flash shadows.-Even though the lens is f5.9 when zoomed all the way in, I still get excellent bokah. Check one of my images below.-At 20 megapixels, there is plenty of resolution for my applications, which includes magazine publishing.What I don't like about photos from the ZS100:-The lens is not as good as the removable Panasonic lenses I have for my GX8 Micro-FourThirds camera. Lens quality seems to be the limiting factor on the ZS100-The auto focus doesn't always find the right focus, even when the subjects are in the clear and seemingly obvious.I want to re-iterate what I said about the flash on the ZS100: This is the best flash I have seen on a pocketable camera, and I have owned about 10 such cameras over the years. It reaches out 15 feet or so with good illumination and the results look natural. Because it's a pop-up flash, it is virtually impossible to accidentally cover it with a finger. (It was much too easy to accidentally cover the flash on the ZS50.)I complained about the autofocus on the ZS100 and you might think that I could just use manual focus. I do use manual focus and it is easy to use, but it's just not as fast as touching the shutter button to get a focus. I love that the ZS100 has a convenient manual focus, which I find especially useful for video shooting -- more about that in a moment.As for my photography assignment, I completed it with the ZS100 with good results. A couple of these photos are shown below.Now onto the ZS100's video capabilities. I actually shoot video more than I do photos, so I was really excited to get the ZS100 for its 4K video capability.Here's what I like about the Panasonic ZS100's video:-4K video quality is excellent, and HD (1080p) is even better.-The format the ZS100 uses for 4K video (100 Mbps MP4) plays back on all my computers with minimal complaint. I can even take the raw video files and play them on my Hisense 4K TV. That has a REAL "wow" factor!-When shooting 4K video, the lens works out to be 37mm to 370mm, and I like the 370mm telephoto. Having 37mm at the wide end is not so good.-Although no one has mentioned it that I've seen, the ZS100 will record 1080p at 120 fps for nice slow motion. Yes, it will do 120 fps at 1080p -- very nice. When shooting at 1080p, either slow-motion or normal speed, the zoom range is 31mm to 310mm.Here's what I don't like about the ZS100's video:-Again, the lens is not as good as the MUCH more expensive lenses I have for the Panasonic GX8. As with photos, the lens quality limits the ultimate quality of the images. They just don't look quite as pristine as the photos and videos I get from the GX8, although the ZS100 does fine with both. (The cheapest lens I have for the GX8 costs as much as the ZS100 camera, so this is not a surprise.)-There's no jack for external audio.-Having the widest shot be 37mm (31mm at 1080p).For a pocketable camera, the ZS100 does a great job with photos and video, although a tick below the similarly priced Panasonic LX100. On the other hand, the LX100 has just a 3x lens, although higher quality... decisions, decisions.Ergonomics and handling:The ZS100 is chunkier and noticeably heavier than the ZS50. The ZS100 will easily fit in a jacket pocket and will even go in a roomy pants pocket, but you'll notice it. I carried it for four days at a big convention, where I took dozens of photos for publication. It was in the pocket of my sport coat and was not a problem there at all.The 3-inch touch screen display on the ZS100 is excellent, and I quickly adapted to the touch screen after not having one on the ZS50. The ZS100 also has a small but useful eyepiece (electronic) viewfinder that is wonderful when shooting outdoors or when I need the added stability of holding the camera to my face. The eyepiece viewfinder has just enough pixels to be useful -- as far as I can tell, the ZS100's eyepiece viewfinder is identical to the viewfinder on the ZS50.The other buttons and controls on the ZS100 are in logical locations, although there is a knob on top of the camera that I don't really see the need for. I can probably assign it to do something I regularly use, such as exposure, but I haven't yet done that. It's just there and does nothing at the moment.Overall, I like the size, photo quality and video quality of the ZS100 quite a bit. I wish the auto focus was better, but I very much enjoy the lower noise and higher sensitivity of the ZS100, as compared to the ZS50. It does exactly what I expected the larger sensor to do. And the flash -- I'm very happy with the flash on the ZS100, despite the fact that it shoots only straight forward and can't be pointed anywhere else.Below are a couple photos from the ZS100. Amazon won't let me post a link to a video, but if you go to YouTube and search on my name (Bob Kovacs) and ZS100, you will find multiple videos that I've shot with the ZS100. I also have a l-o-n-g video review of the ZS100, and a comparison video: ZS100 vs. the Panasonic LX100. One nice recent video I shot with the ZS100 is on Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day 2016. Go to YouTube and search on "arlington cemetery memorial day 2016 zs100" and you'll find it.I recommend the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100, and appreciate Amazon's customer service for making right the initial problem I had.

    Esta cámara tiene una excelente calidad de imagen en un tamaño sumamente conveniente, cabe, literalmente, en tu bolsillo, obviamente si usas un pantalón ajustado no funcionará igual, pero tranquilamente puedes colocarla en el bolsillo de una chamarra o de una camisa.

    Su lente 25 - 250 mm tiene un gran rango a tu disposición, es bastante luminoso f2.8 en su distancia más corta, sin embargo tan pronto y haces zoom, rápidamente se vuelve algo oscuro hasta un 5.6, lo cual no es ideal en condiciones de poca luz como un cumpleaños cuando soplas las velas del pastel, aquí viene el flash al rescate, el cual puedes ajustar de intensidad y tener una excelente exposición en tus fotos. Su sensor de una pulgada es de buen tamaño y en general se desempeña muy bien, pero no esperes que sea el menos ruidoso, su ISO al máximo lo colocaría en un 800 antes de que se vuelva notorio el ruido en fotos RAW o el suavizado del filtrado en jpeg.

    Yo aprendí a tomar fotografías completamente manual con esta cámara, es mi primera cámara que consideraría un poco más seria, así que realmente me dediqué a aprender a utilizarla en su máxima extensión, sin embargo, si eres un usuario más bien de disparar y que la cámara haga el trabajo por ti, también tiene un desempeño excepcional, su autofocus es rápido y preciso, en condiciones de poca luz puede tardar un poco más, pero hace bien su trabajo.

    Haciendo un lado la fotografía, y entrando a la sección de video, lo que sin lugar a dudas vuelve extraordinaria esta cámara es su capacidad 4K y la estabilización de imagen, puedes tomar videos sumamente suaves y nítidos en todo momento, no tengo queja alguna de sus capacidades de video. Tiene muchas opciones desde VGA, pasando por FULL HD a 60P o 30P y 4K a 24P únicamente. Sin embargo, notas de inmediato la calidad de imagen y sobre todo, no se me calentó demasiado el tiempo que estuve grabando (tampoco es que grabe mucho video, pero lo hace muy bien).

    En cuanto a su batería, es sencillamente excelente, puedes pasarte todo el día tomando fotos y dándole un uso rudo y te alcanzará perfectamente, realmente me sorprendió su versatilidad en este sentido. Puedes controlarla remotamente utilizando la app de panasonic para celular (en mi caso android), y enviar fotografías desde la cámara, obviamente, en detrimento de la duración de la batería, pero es bueno cuando quieres tomar fotos grupales donde estás incluido.

    En cuanto a ergonomía, ví algunas reseñas (en inglés) antes de comprar la cámara, donde muchos se quejaron de que no tenía un agarre firme, lo cual, descarté de inmediato cuando la tuve en mis manos. La cámara es tan ligera, que no es necesario tener un mango de hule rugoso o algo parecido, con tus propias manos es más que suficiente. Su pantalla touch no fue para nada un problema como algunos indicaban también, todo el tiempo que la utilicé jamás toqué por error algún botón en pantalla (aun así, si lo deseas la puedes desactivar) y por el contrario, resultó sumamente útil poder incluso tener la función de tocar en algún punto y que la cámara lo enfocara y que automáticamente tomara la fotografía (algo así como en los celulares).

    Si te tomas el tiempo de aprender a utilizarla (que tiene un manual bastante extenso y detallado), estoy seguro de que le podrás sacar muy buen jugo a una cámara de excelentes prestaciones como esta.

    Finalmente, como todo, los puntos que creo no son un defecto, sino un aspecto inevitable de intentar tener todo en un empaque tan pequeño: la cámara NO es la mejor para tomar retratos, si lo que te interesa son fotos con un bokeh bestial, sencillamente no lo conseguirás, por el otro lado, si lo que te interesa es tomar fotografías en entornos oscuros, tampoco cumplirá tu cometido, hará lo que pueda y con el apoyo del flash puede salir muy bien, pero no es su ambiente más cómodo. Yo diría que su potencial es en un plan de vacaciones, donde necesitas algo versátil, cómodo y pequeño, listo para salir de tu bolsillo y capturar todo lo que necesites, desde aquellos motivos distantes metiendo todo el zoom y fotos más abiertas en entornos más oscuros con su máxima apertura y sensibilidad.

    En resumen, si lo que quieres es una cámara discreta, nada ostentoso y que sencillamente haga su trabajo, a un buen precio al fin que no planeas ser fotógrafo profesional, que te ahorre el problema de tener que comprar lentes, tripie, flash y una infinidad de aditamentos que tienen las cámaras gama un poco más alta que apenas y caben en una mochila, esta es tu cámara.

    PD Adjunto algunas fotografías, como comentaba, si sabes utilizar la cámara, puedes hacer un lado sus defectos y por el contrario saber cómo enfrentarlos para tener excelentes fotos, en este caso, realicé astrofotografía, lo cual, salió excepcionalmente bien, algo que me decían sería muy complicado y no saldría bien.
