Ive also got a TZ5, great camera as far as point and shoots go plus if you buy a high speed SDHC memory card instead of the usual SD card it'll record 30fps 720p HD video

I saw a samsung 10 megapixel advertised on tv today, reduced from Ł160 to about Ł60 i think at argos.

Gotta be worth a look

Ive got the TZ5 too. Got it as a replacement for my TZ1 that got stolen on holiday. Fantastic camera with good optical zoom(x10). Did any of you guys with the TZ5 upgrade the firmware?

Yeah, I got a 16GB SDHC card so I can record stuff. I think I can take 3500+ pictures at 9.1 mega pixels. Or 22 mins of 720p recording.

Neil: Upgrade the Firmware?

Yeah there was a firmware upgrade brought out for them on 23/06/2008 to address issues with the Auto focus system constantly hunting for a better focus during video recording. Firmware is available here http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...4_5/index.html
