In the past I've used an older Lumix (ZS40 perhaps) and a Canon SX700HS. I prefer the operation of the Lumix over the Canon.

I have a ZS50 I have used for several years now. Lots of flexibility and a truly long optical zoom when you need it. I want to get the newer ZS because it is now 20MP. My older one is only 12MP. That can be a problem shooting on the move because I'm often shooting over my shoulder more or less blind and need the resolution to be able to crop to best pic and still have decent file size.
The only drawback I've seen is limited tonal range between highlights and shadows. I end up having to work with the final shots to bring up the shadows and tone downs the highlights. It does shoot HDR, but not good for on the move. I put it on sports mode to bias toward faster shutter speed.
Here's some recent rides all shot with the ZS50 Lumix:
