great little camera (paul johnson - 9/11/09)

bought the camera to get something compact. it's kind of clunky and a bit heavy for a shirt pocket. but, it has that heft and quality feel of a leica. love the 25mm lens. @3mp it has 8.9 optical zoom. no problems so far. used it far more than my lumix fz28.
