| |  'Second camera'
Thought I would post to say how impressed I am with the Panasonic FZ7 i bought off of ebay as a second camera to my Canon 10D and stacks of lens. I wanted something light with good image quality that I could carry around easily for grab shots etc. This camera was refurbished and cost me £150 with a 2 gig card thrown in. The company selling them on ebay has loads of them.
The camera is light, the image quality is excellent and the features on this camera really impressive for the money. Very pleased (so much so, I have just bought another one for the wifes birthday - so mine doesn't keep going missing

Steve | Yes-I agree as I have one. Mine is going off to Oz with our daughter in July, so I'm having to buy another one(except I'm getting the FZ50!! He he )
I have the Raynox 150 and 250 lenses which are great for macro shots. I'm going for the tele-converter too asap.

Probably be on e-bay soon!

I still have a Minolta Z1 which is my "garden" camera, I usually carry my
tiny Sony DSC W50 as it gives good macro shots

My second camera is a Fuji 6900 which I have had since they first came on the market in 2003. It is a tremendous bit of kit and has taken some cracking shots over the last few years.
As eeyore says about his Fz7, it's far easier to carry around then my Canon kit, which added together probably weighs as much as me!
