I have had very good luck with the Panasonic DMZ-FZ5 that I bough back in Feb. It's 5 MP with a 12X optical zoom. I has fully automatic "simple mode" and can be set to a variety of modes all the way to full manual as a person learns more about setting shutter speeds etc. It took me about an evening of playing around with it to learn the controls and now I can get a lot of action shots that I would have never gotten before. There are 3 burst modes on the camera and in the right conditions it will shoot almost 3 frames per second. That helps a lot with moving targets. There is even a new and improved version out for 2006. The best part was that it cost me less than a either of the otheres I was considering (Fuji finepix and Kodak) It comes in either silver or black. <br />I got some real good pics of UP 844 with this camera. I would highly recommend it or at least urge you to read the reviews <br /> <br />Here is the link to CNET'sreview. <br />http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_FZ5S_silver/4505-6501_7-31346140-2.html?tag=nav
