Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 digicam provides outstanding image quality. Digital noise control and image stabilisation work really well. The battery is good for 380 shots w/o needing to recharge.
Response times are also pretty impressive: start up to shoot time is 1.8 sec, power on to shot - 2.7 sec, and shot to shot time is 1.3 sec w/o the flash on. And focus is very speedy.
In other words this camera is a great choise to buy.
