Thanks. I will check out the dealer list before hand. I have read about those dealers before. So I know what you mean there.

Ive been looking at two pannys

TZ3 and FX100

TZ3 has a nice wide angle and nice zoom power 28mm-280mm. 7mp

FX100 has good wide but not great zoom 28mm-100mm but really nice MP 12MP

Actually the whole TZ series 3-5 look nice TZ3 is 7MP TZ4 is 8MP goes up from there .. all with the same zoom range.

Which one would you guys get?

Thanks again everyone.
