    As a general rule always stay with a camera manufacturer like Olympus, Cannon, etc.. rather than an electronics manufacturer like Sony or Samsung etc.. as the lenses from the camera manufacturers will be far better quality.
    I'm not sure that's necessarily true. After all, Panasonic use Leica lenses.

    And my Sony camcorder has a Carl Zeiss lens, but it's not brilliant.

    I don't know for sure, but it's quite possible that they get a good lens manufacturer to make them lower quality lenses, just so that they can put their name on it (common marketing tactics).
