The FZ1 has a unique combination of features that includes: An excellent second-generation Leica DC Vario-ELMARIT lens. A 12X optical zoom (the 35mm equivalent of 35420mm focal length). An Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) that helps eliminate jiggle. A maximum aperture of f/2.8 across the entire zoom range. A fast burst mode that captures 47 frames at 4fps. A relatively compact size (11cm x 7cm x 8cm) and weight (350gr including memory card and battery). Can be obtained for under US$250 (search Froogle, PriceGrabber or CNET Shopper). The above makes the FZ1 a camera that is very versatile and fun to use (its been jokingly said that the FZ stands for Fun Zoom).
