Wizno's Word: I currently use the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30BK and have found it to be an outstanding DSLR-Like camera for the money.

// End Wizno's Word :-D
Panasonic keeps chipping away at Canon's position in the premium
ultra-compact market, and with the wide-angle Lumix DMC-FX33 it has a
camera that can take on the best of the IXUS range. It has style,
elegance, build quality, performance and simplicity of operation, and
while it is slightly lacking in picture quality it will seldom
disappoint, producing good pictures in almost any situation.
