Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K
Picked up one of these before heading off on my trip. Excellent little camera with all the power features of a DSLR and an incredibly long piece of glass. The screen is incredibly vibrant, photo quality is above par. RAW is fun.
Bottom line: If you want a power toy to work with without having to deal with a DSLR, this is it.
