thanks, forgot one of the other reasons i went with the panasonic. zoom is a great point. the zoom on the camera i got is 12X optical (and i think an additional 3X digital), and is really really good. some of the other point&shoots didn't even have zoom for the video setting.
the zs3 has great image stabilization while zooming, too. only downside in reviews is that the auto-focus takes longer to catch up to the zoom, but i've never noticed it.
anyway, worth checking out IMO. having one device is so nice.
looks like the newer model is the DMC-ZS7, by the way.
