This is the camera that I have my eye on also. I have also considered the Sony one with a 12x zoom. It sounds nice too. I'm just waiting til I can bring myself to spend that much money on myself...lol. I have a hard time spending any money on me . I just want to be sure I'm not wasting any money..lol. I'm afraid that even though I will have a better camera I still won't be able to take decent pictures and that is part of what is holding me back. I know...I'm a goof

If you get it let me know what you think and I can't wait to see some of your pictures with it.
