WOW!! Very impressive presentation of the ZS100. You really demonstrate the versatility of this tiny camera. Your quiet soft spoken manner fit perfectly with the content. I have many LUMIX cameras and lenses, but looking to down size from micro 4/3. I have the ZS80 and have been impressed by its quality images and videos. Now I’m waiting for delivery of the ZS100 for an upcoming trip. Your video confirms my decision to invest in the ZS100. Thanks for sharing your experience!👍

Very interesting following you on your jaunt outdoors with the tiny ZS100
Impressive for such a small camera and ideal when you prefer a lighter day.
I also am the owner of a Sony RX10 iii, the HX400v and a Lumix FZ330 which id say is somewhere in between the two.
Always a pleasure watching your relaxing and informative videos Carl.

Hi Carl, I thought the pictures and videos were good but not great. We bought a used small camera that is too small for my hands. Personally I like the quality of the pictures you take with the Sony HV400 compared to the Panasonic. I enjoy watching your videos, thanks.

Thanks, Terry. The smallness of compacts have drawbacks, and I have to get better with the Panasonic while I've been using the Sony for years. All the best. Carl

How do you do long exposure without nd filter unless the light is really participating. I own it and thats the biggest drawback in my book.

You can get pretty good long exposure of fast moving water in overcast/early morning/evening by stopping down the aperture and iso.
