Please remember that Panasonic or all the cameras claiming 25x to 36x zoom actually has lesser magnification. Please check the configuration of the lens. For example a lens 1mm - 36mm is ofcourse 36x zoom, but magnification is just .36x. 20 mm - 720mm has 36x zoom but only 7.2x magnification. An SLR will always give much better result than a prosumer camera.
