Pity about the f/3.7 lens, the very poor resolution, non-swivel viewfinder
and the requirement to use memory stick, though. I though that Sony had
learned their lesson and were including CF intheir cameras? There are
suggestions they skimped on the lens as well. Having the name it will
sell, I suppose!

Thanks for the pointer, Bill.

Not exactly the most detailed review, this one is, but I've no doubts
that Phil will eventually get to this camera. I agree with you about
most of the shortcomings compared to the FZ20, but I'm not so sure if
the outsourced Zeiss-branded lens would have mattered much.

At $500, I can think of quite a few more interesting cameras (FZ20, G6,
etc.) in the price range.
