Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix Series DMC-ZS1 Black 10.1 Megapixel Digital Camera:

The Canon A2000 took brighter pictures in low light. Panasonic flash seemed weak, leaving pictures a little on the dark side. During zoom, the Panasonic was critical of the zoom area only, and lost quality of things within a few feet, whereas the Canon was able to also pick up the immediate area with decent clarity. Panasonic zoom was not very clear in low light situation, but okay in good light(see attached image). For the most part, when enough light was present, the Panasonic was a good choice, and the colors were very good. The Panasonic was easy to use out of the box. I did not try many of the features that were available on it. All pictures were taken in 'auto' mode, as all I need is a point and shoot. I was doing an apples-to-apples comparison of photos that I would normally take, and the Canon was slightly superior. Both have good and bad, so it was a tough decision. Canon was available for $50 less, so this plus the issue with low light photos, such as the normal inside shot, I went with the Canon.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix Series DMC-ZS1 Black 10.1 Megapixel Digital Camera:

The low-light performance of this camera is really spectacular. On Xmas day I snapped a picture of my wife sitting in a dark room -- the only light was from the fireplace -- sitting in front of a window. Outside it was just twilight and the ground was covered with snow. Impossible, right? Not only did this unit give me a perfectly-balanced photo but the colors were all perfect as well.

Service & Delivery comments:

Shipped very quickly, packed carefully (with sealed-air bags.) Excellent.
