I have both Panasonic TZ6 and FZ28
The TZ range is very good but with no viewfinder you have to hold it away from (your) body when at a long zoom. You get shake.
The FZ range now FZ45 and FZ100 (28 and 38 will be very difficult to get now) have viewfinder and can be held steady at long zoom. The viewfinder is also better in sunlight.
If you drop to 5MP or 3MP the optical zoom is extended without digital zoom.

The zoom is equiv to about 500 in old money.

About the other bits.
I am not sure if the older film lenses will work with DSLR.
I may be wrong.
