My first digital camera. I did my research. It is the best 12x optical zoom camera you can buy. I played w/ the Cannon that had the 12x and it seemes to zoom faster and all, but its image quality stinks if you read the review here on it when it is compared to the FZ5.
Only problem I have is the quicktime movies that it takes, but you can always convert a motion jpeg to an avi in 5 seconds on your computer no matter how long the movie is. Plus I would always post process the video anyway with virtualdub to brighten / adjust levels / compress to divx or xvid anyway.
