Can you believe Fuji is coming out with a 9MP S9000 Point and Shoot
(claiming to be a DSLR) with the 35mm EQV of a 28mm to 300mm lens that
has NO image stabilization.  Sounds like they missed the boat.

I've narrowed down my decision between the two cameras. I like the
Olympus because of the 8mp and the quality seems to be good, but the
zoom isn't quite there. I like the Panasonic because of the zoom but
it's only 5mp. I do some cropping but not too much and I do like to do

a little noise inside, just like a piece of plastic travelling inside (it
seems to be near the viewfinder, but it's dificult to locate...)
I borrough about that...

I read all of the posts in the "comparitive results Canon S2 vs. Pan FZ5"
thread because I too am going to buy one of them. I noticed that no one
brought up the subject of construction and reliability. I'm leaning toward
the Panasonic, but everything I've bought with that brand name ...

Everything I've read about the Panasonic Lumix FZ5, FZ20, and the Canon
Powershot S2 IS -- indicates a fairly high degree of noise above ISO
100. I think this comes from the signal-to-noise issue of trying to
cram 5MPs of data onto the same 1/2.5 sensor that Panasonic has used as

Some notes and very first impressions:
- easier to use than the manual might suggest!

Hi Group,
I just bought a new Panasonic FZ5, and I was wondering if digital cameras
still have apertures and shutters, as the owners manual still refers to
them. I've heard that the click we hear when we push the button is just

Any recommendations for the best digital for shooting a live band in a
niteclub setting? I would prefer a superzoom.
Thanks,

Thanks for all your help in the past. I now have the Olympus 8080 and am
happy with it -- enough to use as a P&S when I want to and can play with
it when I want to learn more about shooting. I do have a question about
conversion lenses.

How much is a Canon A80 worth now?
Thanks.
