Pros: Price, picture quality, resolution, features, included accessories, RAW, size, weight, large LCD
Cons: No super-wide angle, overly-aggressive noise reduction
The Bottom Line: If you want a 7.2-Megapixel responsive "monster zoom" camera, this Panasonic FZ8 is an excellent choice. With 12x optical zoom, optical image...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Movie sound isnt the best. Better "use flash" indicator is needed. Thats it!
The Bottom Line: Go get one, why?, because it takes great pictures, is very flexable and battery life is NOT an issue.Did I mention it takes great pictures ?

Pros: Wonderful zoom, good image stabiliser, nice colours, sharp images
Cons: Light artifacts on pictures that require lens shielding
The Bottom Line: If you want something more than a point-and-shoot compact, but aren't ready for a high-end prosumer, do consider the FZ8.

Pros: Great array of controls. Love the joystick, baby SLR feel, long zoom.
Cons: Would like less ISO noise and wider angle when zoomed out.
The Bottom Line: This is probably the most camera you can get without getting a full blown DSLR. Highly recommended.
