Panasonic Lumix series is just getting better with each camera release and with DMC-FZ100 there are lot of improvements that will force you to look beyond old FX series. If you're thinking about getting DSLR or a compact camera then do take a look at the spec sheet of this camera.I got chance to use this camera while we were traveling southern Asia this October and i must say i'm impressed with this model.

The zoom control is also available for shooting movies.You'll get full HD resolution of 1920x1080 with Lumix DMC-FZ100 which i guess is enough for home movies.  It also has onboard MIC that records stereo output for the camera during movie shoot, and optional outboard stereo MIC.

Quality of movies that you'll shot with this camera is much better than old Lumix FX  series cameras which you're thinking to replace for your home movies. Camera not just gives good quality of movies but the quality of still pictures is also excellent with high resolution and colour rendition.

Pros

This is one good camera that gives you point-and-shoot capability and still maintains quality compared to SLR's. Definitely worth to get one.
