I am considering a two camera purchase.
Primary camera will be a Lumix DMC-FZ100:

Seconary camera - for rough times, for skiing, etc, will be a Lumix DMC-TS2:
https://panasonic.ca/english/audiovideo/camerascamcorders/digitalstill/DMCTS2.asp
This is partly due to the use of Leica optics, partly due to the Consumer's Reports conclustion that Panasonic Lumix cameras have the highest reliability, partly due to the feature set of each camera, and partly due to the negative reviews of competing cameras.
Does anyone have any experiences with either of these? Any comments, advice, etc? For me, this is a lot of $$$ for hardware that needs to last a while, and I would like to do what is possible to ensure an informed decision is made.
