So far, I'm thrilled. As a former owner of a LUMIX TZ TZ 3 and 7 I'm thrilled. Here it was a real bargain as Warehaose Deal. I also submitted the 16x zoom compared to the HX 20V. But above all, a price well below 200, - Euro could feel me. The colors I find very pleasant. The attention to detail between Panasonic and Sony are comparable. With twilight the Sony cope better, of course I can only compare this with the Lumix predecessors. The "current yield" (when switched off GPS) which Sony seems more economical. I'm happy I was with the TZ 7 also. Overall, though, I squint forward to the WLAN capability of the Sony HX30V (but not to get in Germany) or the Lumix Tz40. Time comes Council and initially you pay too much. I have my cameras can always sell well because I always like to swim the second "wave"
