Panasonic DMC-TZ2 10x Zoom Digital Camera

Just outstanding, and looks great in the slightly retro black finish. Awesome lense (10x optical), with a further 4x optical, meaining you can frame distant objects perfectly (albeit with loss of resolution, but far easier that cropping and zooming once you get the photos onto a PC). The image steadying feature is excellent - 40x with no tripod, and still very clear. Fast shutter response, fast repeat, and easy to use.
