- A: AnswerThe cameras are very similar on paper, both with rich feature sets. The main difference is that the ZS100 has a larger sensor and a slightly larger wide-open aperture. Therefor the ZS100 will have better image quality and will hold up better in lower light conditions. On the other hand the ZS70 has a longer zoom, which could be an advantage depending on your needs. I just bought the ZS100 and I find the zoom is very usable at it's most extended setting in well lit conditions without needing to use a tripod. I am curious how the ZS70 performs at max zoom and it was very tempting to buy, for its long reach.

Great camera for casual shooting
I have a Canon 6D and a wide array of lenses, which are great, but too heavy to carry around on a daily basis. Finally got tired of inferior mobile phone photos so decided to pick up a bridge camera that can fit in my pocket and produces decent quality images. Researched the current line of advanced point & shoots and settled on the ZS100 because image quality appears comparable to the others and it has a 10x zoom, which makes it more versatile. Obviously image quality of a 1" sensor is not up to full frame standards, but I've found it much better than my mobile phone and unless I pixel peep, can produce images that are very acceptable. The biggest benefit I've found is that it has expanded my ability to be creative and capture images that I wouldn't have taken before. Generally I use a tripod with my DSLR, which takes time to set up. The ZS100 allows me to shoot quickly and hand-hold shots from various angles with surprisingly good results. The only negative I feel is the difficulty in controlling ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Maybe its just a matter of getting used to the controls, but I would have preferred separate controls like what's offered with the LX100. I was very tempted to get the LX100 except for the slightly larger size and limited zoom range. All in all, I'm pleased with the ZS100 and look forward to using it as my casual go-to camera.

Best point and shoot camera so far
This camera is more than what I expected. In shopping for a point and shoot camera for my trip there were two qualities that I needed. 1. delivers quality photos close to my SLR. 2. being that I am a true novice/beginner, SIMPLE!! This camera has superseded all my expectations. The quality of the photos came out better than my SLR (Nikon 3200). Maybe it's because this camera has a feature (with the option to disable) to display a brief description of what each setting does. For a "dummy", this was really helpful (recall, I am a beginner so I have very little skill and understanding of f/stops, ISO, etc). All that matters is, all my shots were in focus and the quality is AMAZING! . The only con I have is its a bit bulky as a pocket camera.

Best Macro Point and Shoot on the Market!
This is one of the best cameras for macro photography without breaking the bank. You can do post processing for focus and thus create focus stacked images with ease (and something like Photoshop). It has amazing low light capability and the battery has a very good life. I researched for a point and shoot with good macro ability and this camera came up over and over again. I took a chance and have been incredibly impressed. If you are looking for a good price, good quality and amazing capability in a compact point and shoot then this should be your choice.
