Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Couldn't be more pleased.
This camera is fantastic. The Intelligent Auto feature works very well. Though I suggest turning if off for nighttime photos and instead fiddling with whatever setting works best in your lighting environment.
The zoom is incredible for a camera of this price that doesn't require a lens. You're not going to find a better zoom. Trust me. And it comes in extremely handy.
The video records well enough. The autofocus can cause some temporary blurring, but whatever, it's a photo camera, not a video camera.
The LCD screen is very big. I've had lots of people comment on how big it is. (The LCD screen.)
The only draw back is it is bigger than other similar cameras; as a guy, this is no problem, as it still fits comfortably in my jean pocket. If you are a girl and want something that is cute & tiny, this isn't for you.
I recommend getting the 16GB Transcend card with it. There is probably a link on this page. I bought it just because I was going on a two-week vacation and didn't want to have to worry about running out of space. For the price, you can't beat the convenience of knowing that even if you are shooting lots of video on vacation you probably won't run out of memory.
Battery life is fine. I'd go out for a day with a full battery and take hundreds of pics and wouldn't have to worry about conserving battery. Just make sure you buy a spare though for if you have a day outing on a non-full battery. I bought one of the non-Panasonic spares here on Amazon and it was sufficient.
I highly recommend this product. I can't imagine a better camera in this price range. It's about as good as you'll get without going SLR.
