another new lumix

[judywatt]

oh god, now there's ANOTHER new lumix

this one looks like a great point and shoot cam too -
bigger than the little canon a620 i have been carrying around lately
but smaller than the dslr cams and the c8080 olympus i had
that got to be just way too bulky and heavy.

should i buy this one or the bigger lumix
which costs 200 more?

going on a little vacation in two weeks -
but can i decide before then?

right, the fz3 only has 3 megapixels. i think my fz7 has 6? i am assuming you will take the camera for a test drive before purchasing, so will let you judge for yourself the clarity of the fz8 or fz50 images. you might have better luck than i have! for only doing arty stuff, the lumix is fine, but i am sad when i am going for something clear and clean. live and learn!

is the d40 you want the big one, the DSLR? that one looks great but also looks like the big ones i had before that i just could not lug around all the time.

same with the d80 mentioned below by annina - nice but it's a DSLR and i know how bulky they are to deal with.
