Last month I decided to replace my ageing 2 mega pixel Nikon CoolPix with this Panasonic Lumix DMC -TZ3. It offers 7.2 MP and 10 times optical zoom and it will fit in a shirt pocket.
The macro facility is quite superb. There's much more to come, but here are three of my first offerings....
"Bee's Knees"
Borlotti Beans

Those /are/ lovely. A really old fellow (he told me he was 88) proudly demonstrated his Lumix on the bus yesterday. I was impressed with his results: he takes the card into a shop and gets prints done. marvellous quality. You'll have fun!

Tony,
I am looking at the TZ3 too.
I have received some other comments though here from on my Red Ink blog from Kimbofo, that sort of make me wary.
Do you have a view on this ?

Red Ink,
Any point and shoot camera is a compromise. If you want a no drawback model then you'll have to lug around a digital SLR with a couple of lenses. For me, the plus points of the TZ3 are
the 10x zoom,
the wide angle,
colour reproduction
wide screen facility
size
And comparing the price ( I bought mine in the US $300) it's difficult to find a real competitor.
