I have a Panasonic Lumix something or other (D70 I think). I bought it last year having seen reviews in What Digital Camera or some such magazine... it scored over 90% in their tests and I've not been disappointed. It's small, light and yet packs an impressive array of features including "normal" zoom and "digital" zoom (whatever that means!!!) but also has the advantage of an impressive 5mp...
Like I said, haven't been disappointed with it... oh, apart from not being able to get a housing for it
