macro shots and 3D shots too.

Look out for the optical & digital ,optical is actually the photo you
viewed
& took ,all digital is basically the image zoomed.The higher the optical
lens the better!Also remember that higher mpix wont always give you the
better quality pic.K Barrett is right before you buy look at the quality
of
the pics,you will be supprised!

Did you compare its pictures side by side with other cameras (and even
your
old one) on the 'Amazing Comparometer? Why anyone would consider a
purchase
and *not* look at actual images the camera produces is beyond me.

All,

Our digital Kodak 260 is now way behind the curve, and we're
considering
a
new one. Frank did a bunch of research and found the Panasonic
DMC-FZ10K
Lumix. 4 mp, zoom up to 12x, and an optical image stabilizer, among
other
features. It's priced around $600, which makes puts it in reasonable
range
for us.

Anyone familiar with this camera? I'm sure that if we wanted to spend
a
fortune there are better ones available, but we'd like to stay in this
range. I'm particularly interested in getting detail so I can
photograph
some of the smaller orchids.

Any thoughts welcome.

Diana
