Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 —
I have had my Panasonic LZ5 for a while now and have taken hundreds of pictures. This is an eay to use camera for the technically challenged. Good sharp pictures and enough optical zoom to get good shots from far away. Image is stablized for those long zoom shots not becoming blurred. Good battery life and picture quality except be careful of lens flare on bright sunny days with a high sun...many of your pictures may come out with a vertical line down the whole picture.
