I don't have the Z2 - I have the Z3, so please take this info in the way it
is intended.

The two cameras appear physically the same so I can say that handling the
camera is easy. The Viewing screen is bright and allows you to compose the
picture very well, although I do sometimes use the eyepiece if I want to get
a very close crop on a still life or face.

This page will give you more info:
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/z2.html. I have had the Z3 for
about 5 months now and it has already been replaced.

Look around the web and you should be able to get the Z3 for around £225.00
see http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/photo [...] 546/prices
for a list of prices.

Cheers
