For instance, here is Ian's take on the overall dimensions of the ZR1 / ZX1:
Despite packing a genuine superzoom range 8x zoom, from the impressively wide angle of 25mm (equivalent) to 200mm, the ZX1 remains compact and slim.
Safaridon's post on Fujifilm Finepix F70EXR / F75EXR vs Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 / DMC-ZX1:
Given the "miniature is best" mania in the world today, I would expect this ZR1 to be very very popular.
For those wanting the highest image IQ (image quality) in a compact, the new Fuji F70EXR / F75EXR may be hard to beat, but this ZR1 / ZX1 has HD video, goes to 25mm WA (wide-angle), and has a much better OIS (optical image stabilization) and a much faster AF.
