NEW Lumix Digital Camera - 6x Optical Zoom, 4 Megapixel with Mega Optical Image Stabi

As it says in the title. I'm posting this as it is possibly relative to the Panasonic fz3 thats been floating around for the last few weeks . This looks better in some aspects and worse in others. Judge for yourselves but the price seems reasonable in todays market.

    This lacks the FZ3's 12x zoom (though 6x with image stabilisation is still better than the competition at price point at the moment) and is still only 4MP, but that's no problem for a consumer camera. Looks like it'll maybe just about slip into 'shirt pocket' too, which is a bonus. FZ3 just a tad too iwde for that, with the bigger lens. Should be cheaper via other online suppliers, as Panasonic usually sell at RRP.

    I think that the FZ is still a much better buy at £199.99, if it's still obtainable. The replacement for that camera is the FZ4 and FZ5, due soon, with 4MP and 5MP respectively. Otherwise almost identical spec. Be interesting to see pricing of those models. I suspect the FZ3 will still be the best buy!
