A small related query. I am also planning to get one of these cameras. I see that the DMC-LZ8 uses AA batteries. Aren't Lithium Ion batteries better? Is there any model of Li-Ion Batteries which can be used instead of AA in the same socket?

The cheapest compact camera which can zoom in videos is Panasonic TZ15 which costs around Rs.15k. A couple of Sony T series cameras can also zoom in video but they are also in the same range.

As far as brands is concerned, rest assured Panasonic is amongst the best brands in the world as regards compacts cameras.

There is no other camera in a budget of Rs.8k which can take videos in widescreen format, has a reasonably wide angle (30mm) and has Image stabilisation.

I find panasonic cameras getting rave reviews in all the photography magazines(not digit sh!t) like better photography and smart photography all the time . Dont know what website you are talking to.

I personally never saw that particular panasonic model , but i find them to be decent shooter and with very high quality made.

Out of the cameras you mention, Canon A1000 and Fuji Z30 are very good cameras in terms of image quality. But they are very poor in videos.
The other 2 cameras aren't that good.
Further, none of these 4 cameras have optical image stabilisation (not sure about the Fuji, but the others definitely lack it)
