Then last year they teased me by giving me the Panasonic A500H to test out, again, I was amazed by the technology and ease of use.
HOWEVER......
This year, just days before my wedding, Panasonic surprised me with the new Panasonic LUMIX ZS60 - and I am SOLD on Panasonic products now.
I have used only the Panasonic ZS60 while on my honeymoon - below I am sharing a few of the photos and the features that amaze me with this camera.
The quality of images is amazing.....
Again, you all know I have been a Canon girl for years, for the fact that I despise grainy unprofessional photos, but secretly I loathe carrying around my great big camera bag and all the gear.
After a few shots with my new Panasonic Lumix ZS60 - NO editing this was the result.

The ease of use is perfect....
So I am like super busy, okay every mom is super busy, but I am that mom that can't waste time on reading directions - in fact don't tell Panasonic, but I have no idea where my directions to this camera are.
However, with no directions I was still able to shoot photos, edit photos, share photos with my phone, ohhhhhh and I discovered (unlike my last Panasonic) this camera has a touch screen - with my fat fingers that does wonders!

Another new feature that sold me on the new Panasonic ZS60 is the leveling technique - I am terrible at taking straight pictures, even with my big camera, well this new feature makes me want to level my photos and get all green lines!
Below is a photo I was able to shoot while using the the leveling technique.

The Zoom......
Like my other Panasonic camera the ZS60 has amazing zoom quality - below you will see 2 photos one shot without zoom and one shot zoomed in - I see no grainy pixels or poor quality in either photo.
Not Zoomed -
The video quality....
Now Panasonic talks about the 4K video quality - I am not really an expert on 4k or video quality. What I do know is that my camera shoots amazing videos when I hit the button, oh and I can shoot a photo while I am videoing - double awesomeness.

Panoramic View...
Part of the shooting features that I love is the panoramic view - this has become some what popular, but as a travel writer, this is a must. I want to be able to show my readers the same view that I am seeing - I want you to feel that you are there with me.
Panasonic offers this on the Lumix ZS60 with just a turn of the dial - I must admit this photos speaks wonders - look at the clouds.
Customer Service and Deals...
I am a person that seeks good customer service and a good deal - I can say the few times I have had a question or issue with my Panasonic cameras their support team as been there to help me - either in person or over the phone.
Panasonic has also been so kind to offer my readers and the Traveling Mom's readers a really good deal - just in time for Mother's Day.
Would I suggest you buy the Panasonic ZS60?
My close friends always ask "if you had to pay for that camera would you buy it?" Yes I would - I would recommend this camera to anyone including those who have to see me daily. This camera is perfect for everyday use, business use, and busy moms like me.
Thanks for your detailed review! One question about touch screen. Would you recommend buying protective screen/film? Thanks
