Love my Panasonic DMC-FX07. Takes very nice pics thanks to the Leica lens. Nice size,lots of settings to choose from and also easy to navigate. Bought mine @ Fry's while on a trip to LA for $187. It retailed @ other stores for around $250. Then went to Target and found a case by Denali for $3.99.
Obviously cameras like Nikon D40 are much better,but for a camera thats easy to operate,carry and takes amazin pics this is a great camera for anyone
