Mrs. Billfer and I decided that we needed to upgrade our digital camera. Our 5 year old HP 2.1 megapixel camera had served us well for thousands of pictures, but we really wanted more. Our Christmas present this year is a new digital camera. 
After a weekend of research we (by we I mean me) narrowed it down to 3 cameras. The Kodak Z7590, the Canon Powershot S2, and the Panasonic FZ5 (aff links). Despite knowing people who had the Kodak and the Canon – and were thrilled with them – we went with the Panasonic. The Kodak was cheaper, but didn’t offer image stabilization. The Canon had a couple more whistles – like the swivel out LCD and a better movie mode, but the cost was outside of our price range. We split the difference and went with the Panasonic. It’s movie resolution is the lowest of the 3, but we weren’t buying a movie camera. It has 12x optical zoom and 5 megapixels. These shots I took this morning on pure automatic mode, and I have to say I’m pretty happy.
