I purchased Panasonic DMC-ZS7/TZ10 camera before Christmas 2010. It has turned out to be one of the finest cameras I've owned to date. After a thousand or so photos, inside photos/videos have been very good, but outside photos/videos are stellar. Photos are extremely sharp, brilliant. Approaches mid range DSLR quality. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a travel camera in the $400. and under price range.

It's undoubtfully a excellent camera. But Nikon S8100 Seems to be the modified version of this look wise. And Geotag feature is appreciable but it is still not so much popular or in demand. It's not the area to compete upon.
