Looking for something I can keep handy, glove box, pocket etc. and I have come to the conclusion that the Panasonic ZS1/2xx is the answer when I do not want to drag out my heavy cameras (D800e or Sony R10IV.

So should I spend $400 for ZS100 or $600 for ZS200? Discuss

I have both the ZS100 and ZS200 and rarely use them. For me when I'm out walking the best pocket cameras are my ZS70 and ZS60. The one that fits my pockets the best is the ZS60, but I do like the flip screen on the ZS70. But then I just take plain old snapshots which is good enough for me. I've been through all the big heavy equipment over the past 50 years.

I really like my ZS70.

But my "heavy camera" is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mk. II. It was cheaper than the ZS200, and came with 14-42mm & 40-150mm lenses. Before I ran across that deal, I was looking at the ZS100 since I prefer brighter lenses. (I have a couple of adapted f/2.8 primes.)

So given your Q&As, ZS100 for the brighter lenses, FTW.
