Hey i bought this camera very recently. I got it, when I recently went on a trip to Malaysia. It is easy to use. Good picture clarity. Easy to hold. It is a good camera for 12k price.

But sad thing is I lost it while returning back home . I think we dropped in the car that dropped us at the airport. I was able to load only few pics i took with that camera in my computer. Others are lost forever.

Point-and-shoots are by far the best selling type of separate camera, as distinct from camera phones.

#3 wins hands down.

Good choice. I have an older version TZ7. It is a great P&S camera.

BTW did you try Ebay? I got it for a lesser price in Ebay.

Hi Highway Ranger,

Thanks for the reply. I have not tried eBay - need to look in today.

Good to know that you are happy with Panasonic P&S.

Here in my place people talk about Sony and then Nikon and Cannon and to a lesser extent Olympus. No one is sure about Panasonic.
