Panasonic makes some solid compact cameras that people love to take along with them on holidays and on the street. They also make some of the best mirrorless cameras, long-zoom travel cameras, high-end compacts, and bridge cameras. There's something for everyone in the range of Panasonic digital compact cameras. The Japanese brand also offers some brilliant video cameras and hybrids. Probably the one on people's minds the most these days is the mirrorless Panasonic Lumix. It features on the top ten lists of mirrorless cameras and that's high praise. You'll find that some Panasonic Lumix models have 'Leica lenses', though these aren't made by Leica. For instance, the 'Elmarit' is just a popular lens for extreme focal lenses.
