Remember the Essentials

Sufficient memory is not included. Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 (Blue) boasts a high-powered, 8x Leica optical zoom lens in a stylish, easy to carry camera body. A newly-developed 0.3mm aspherical lens formula provides excellent coverage for subjects from landscapes to distant street portraits while maintaining an incredibly slim and compact form factor. The advanced 12.1 megapixel sensor ensures the highest image quality possible. Panasonic's Intelligent Exposure (iA) Mode delivers high speed AF tracking for moving subjects, optical image stabilization, scene mode selection, and auto ISO to make great pictures as simple as point-and-shoot. Concentrate on the subject in front of you - let the camera do the rest. Advanced Face Recognition allows you to register up to six faces with auto name tagging and optimized exposure. With all of these features and more, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 lets you enjoy making great photographs right out of the box.

Leica 8x Optical Zoom Lens
Leica optics are world-renown for their high quality and exceptional value. Coupled with the Lumix DMC-ZR1, the 8x Optical Leica Vario-Elmar lens provides dramatic wide angle to telephoto coverage. This range represents an incredible 35mm equivalent of 25-200mm. From landscapes to portraits, macro to sports action shots, this optic ensures first-class image quality in an ultra-convenient focal range.
POWER Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.)
Boasting Panasonic's newly developed POWER Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), the DMC-ZR1 automatically detects and corrects for camera shake. With twice the shake suppression or MEGA O.I.S, POWER O.I.S provides consistently sharp, crisp, photographs you can be proud of. The technology works seamlessly at any focal length or focusing distance.
Intelligent Auto Exposure (iA)
Taking great photos should be as simple as point-and-shoot. That's the philosophy behind the Panasonic's Intelligent Auto Exposure (iA). Combining face detection autofocus, AF tracking for moving subjects, image stabilization, scene mode selection, and auto ISO selection, the DMC-ZR1 delivers consistently beautiful photographs.
Advanced Face Recognition
Face Recognition is powerful function that "remembers" the faces of your subjects. When the same face is photographed several times, the camera will prompt you to register the face. When the registered face appears in your frame again, the camera will display the name you specified for the person and properly adjust focus and exposure. Up to six faces can be registered, and up to three can be simultaneously recognized to show names and optimize image quality.
Shoot Faster, Longer
The DMC-ZR1 boasts high-speed 1.1 second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately 0.27 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per second at full resolution. Highly energy efficient, you can also take up to 330 photos on a single battery charge.

      Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 Digital Camera (Blue):

      I was looking for a compact camera that can go easily in the pocket. After comparing the dimensions of DMC ZS3, I decided to go with this. After receiving it, I was impressed with how compact it is.

      Pros:
      1. Wide angle
      2. Small size
      3. Bright LCD
      4. Very good zoom range.

      Cons:
      1. Indoor performance is not consistent. Sometimes, the focus is not sharp, sometimes it is too grainy.
      2. Battery life could be better.

          this was a replacement to a pocket camera to just have all the time when you need to take a picture but not carry a slr camera. so far it has exceeded all our thoughts as to how it would be. and the color is really cool

          Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 Digital Camera (Blue):

          I absolutely love it. It is small, but it knows a LOT. Easy to use (I never actually had to read the manual) and it fits everywhere. Great picture quality. The camera mode is very good too, even though it does not record HD the film still comes out very enjoyable.
          I love the vivid blue outside color too.
          Overall I am very pleased, and it is the best product for this price.

          Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 Digital Camera (Blue):

          Saw this camera on the Panasonic web site a month before it was actually released, then bought it just in time for a long vacation in the Cyclades and ended up taking more than 1000 pictures. The selling points for me were the large zoom range (including wide angle and telephoto) combined with a good lens, high-res 12.1 Mpix CCD, and relatively small size. These features work very nicely as advertised, plus there are many other great features of the camera, including full HD video, image stabilization, and a long list of software selectable controls and features. I find that the many features are easy to use/discover and intuitive to navigate (wish I could say the same for my Panasonic DVD recorder!). A minor disappointment is that you have to remove the battery to recharge, which is easy, but I would have ideally preferred a direct USB interface for power and communications. Overall very pleased.
