(Alan - 7/5/08)I have used fujii f601 and F810 cameras with excellent results and found them easy to slip into ones pocket, so they were always with me bbuit the draw back was that when shooting in poor light on automatic, the results were to say the least poor!!!. Yes, I know you can fiddle with the settings but usually don't have the time or photographic abillity to do this. As you can tell, I am not a photographer nor do I have the time or inclination to become one!!!
I decided that I needed something with a bigger and better lens to give me the better results in poor light. I have found this with the FZ50. I know it is a Leica lens and is bigger than my Fuji 810(which I still carry) The results are really good and the 12xx zoom is excellent. Poor light is no obstacle for this camera and the quallity matches my friends very expensive Sigma, yes more expensive cameras have more to offer but as usual the extras are very, very expensive, so if you are like me and have limited funds, you will find this camera all you need.
