Generally, some of the advantages of the Panasonic DMC-ZR1 compared to waterproof competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/3.3 vs f/3.9), has slightly more zoom (8x vs 3x), records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 848 x 480 @ 30fps), has a much wider wide angle lens (25 mm vs 38 mm) and has image stabilization (lens vs none).
However, on average it has a significantly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.0"), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 3,200 ISO), is older (july, 2009 vs november, 2009), is thicker (1" vs 0.8") and is not waterproof.
