I'd get an fz-n (for model "now"), then decide later if you want
to sell it for an upgrade. The upgrade, if there is one, will have
to be not only released but evaluated for months before you are
ready to make up your mind. Lots of things can go wrong along the
way, meanwhile the fz1 has already been shown to get the shots you
are likely to want.
I look back at my digital photos, and the real winners were shot
with 1mp and less! The very ultimate best of my shots were done
with a Sony Mavica at 640 x 480 res (just over half a megapixel).
Had I waited even for a 1 mp Mavica, I never would have got that
shot!! What's that worth? Do you think you will always have ideal
subjects to shoot and just have to wait for the right camera? That
may be true but it's more likely that your own interest in the
subject and the opportunity will be fleeting. Act now and get the
shot while the subject is available, is my advice, and to all
photographers.
Some of the best photos I've ever seen were done with very low mp
cameras. Some of the most boring and labored, "had to have a
photo, so I shot this thing", with high MP cameras. Never let the
camera get in the way of the photo.
Your call...
