Panasonic Lumix® DMC-FZ7 Digital Camera

I have had a thing for Cannon cameras untill I bought this one. Cannons format is not near as user friendly as this one. If your'e not a pro, this camera is great. I especially like the 2.5 inch LCD and that it clearly displays the number of shots left plus battery condition.
Camera has built in logic so if you are doing something wrong it tells you. Love the green light that comes on once in focas. Has a 12x optical zoom and far less buttons than the cannon. Picture quality I feel is as good or better than the cannon.
Deleating bad pics is easy, and reviewing them easy. Its almost like they asked the public what they liked, and built that camera.
Only negitive I can think is the 16mg memory card it comes with.
My suggestion is to get a 1 gig memory card and a card reader and your'e all set up. Stay away from "Best Buy" and you will do ok. (another story)
