Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8
Pros: Nice design, big zoom, nice image stabilisation options

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 Digital Camera Review
Pros: Optical image stabilization, 12x Leica lens, Good handling, Records RAW images, Large viewfinder, Sturdy, effective flash, Long-lasting battery, Quick auto focus

Cons: Noise becomes a problem above 200 ISO., Wide angle coverage 'only' 36mm., No flip-out screen., May be too small and light for some., ,
