Having recently had my birthday and got some permanent part-time work I decided I would treat myself and replace my semi broken Samsung Digimax A50. I definitely wanted something reasonable but not over the top, had to be point and shoot but with a good optical zoom.
At first could not decide between many but finally went for the Lumix. The only thing putting me off was the lack of HDMI Video, for that I would have need to spend another £100+ notes on top of the £125 and would have bought the DMC ZS3, but could not justify the expense. I attach a few pics below taken at 7meg res not the max 10 meg setting. The video is in wvga and utilises the full 12X optical multiplied up giving 57X maximum. It shows someones little wind generator 3 miles away from us, viewed from my loft landing window.
The pics are of one of the wild rabbits that surround me and bully me when at work on the hills above Darwen and also a couple of snaps one showing the M65 winding through the valley the other two are the newish Royal Blackburn Hospital from a distance then zoomed in
