Shunda77: Because pictures of girls menstruating are just so progressive?
"the future of art is depravity"
The future is bleak.
shunda77, you'd be one of those who knocked the penises off of Michealagelo's statues because they "offended your sense of morals". Fortunately there are those who can appreciate reality as it exists rather than wrapping it in sackcloth.

An often-overlooked source for information and tutorials on Photoshop is your local library. Many libraries are now incorporating electronic access, including e-books and licenced databases. It's pretty easy to check them out to see what Photoshop (or other) information is available. For example, ours has the Photoshop CS4 and CS5 Bibles, Photoshop Trickery and FX (for CS4 and CS5), Complete Photoshop for Digital Photographers, Smashing Photoshop, Photoshop Restoration and Retouching for Digital Photographers Only, and several on Photoshop Elements.
You sure can't touch the price for a wealth of information!
coastcontact: After driving the same old cars for 10 years I rented a near new vehicle for a drive from JFK to Monticello. Although the car was not an outstanding model the difference between that rental and my old cars was stark. Within a year I had bought a new car. The difference between the new car and the following year’s model was so negligible that there really was no justification in buying yet another new car.
Thus Panasonic’s 2011 models vary little from last year’s models. In fact new cameras have not experienced any significant improvements over the past few years. It’s not just Panasonic. Tweaked improvements are mostly cosmetic and do little to improve photo quality. Unless DPR or some other organization can resoundingly say that the FZ150 has made some serious leap, there really is no justification for a new camera.
I have to agree with dfswan: after using the studio comparison tool I was disappointed in the CMOS of the FZ100 vs the CCD in the FZ35 (I have happily owned an FZ28 for several years). Since I'm planning a trip to Africa in a couple of years that requires very light packing but demands convenience and speed (and familiarity with controls) as well as clarity of shots and as much optical zoom as I can find and a good image stabilization (especially at high zooms) I am happy I "discovered" the FZ150 in this website. I think I've just changed my "target purchase".
