Pros:

The Panasonic Lumix's POWER O.I.S. helps stabilize the camera when you record video, making them less blurry.

Cons:

The lens only has a 24x zoom, which is lower than many other bridge cameras on our lineup.
Narrower zoom range than rivals, Disappointing burst shooting, No RAW mode, Fixed non-articulated LCD screen.
