Yummy. This is great stuff at: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0507/05072004panasonic_fz30.asp . Finally we have a great prosumer camera which is actually affordable and offers both manual control on aperture and shutter speed just like a mini digital Leica R8/R9. The Digilux 2 was great for that but way too pricey. And this one has a longer zoom lens with image stabilization. Two things that the D2 can't deliver :)
