Panasonic Lumix FZ200 Digital Camera + 8GB SDHC Memory Card

So far this camera has done everything I've asked of it with good quality results. Coming from a Fuji S6000, I think the technology has really advanced to the benefit of being able to take good pictures in a wider variety of situations. I enjoyed the Fuji, but this is Lumix is far better. Still learning all the features and symbols, but the auto setting gets excellent results, too.

High quality images and video. Somewhat intimidating due to lots of features but many are not even really necessary for the type of shooting I do. Mostly family, kids, school recitals, etc. Search Graham Houghton on YouTube for tons of info about it. Only negative I've found is that zooming smoothly while shooting video can sometimes be a challenge. Best combination of features and quality for your cash!

This is my go to AMAZING CAMERA! Quite universally impressed with this camera- solid, dependable, great pictures- it goes with me on all my trips.
