Good demo! My staff are also liking the DMC-FZ50 (aka "Lumix") which my assistant and I chose for them. The image stabilization is great. When my assistant took a super zoom photo and showed me, I hardly believed it.

What were the settings on those four frames? I'm guessing (TL) full zoom out (or some wide angle?), (TR) full optical zoom, (BL) full digital zoom, (BR) then that crazy crop thing where it does digial zoom but crops the image to 1024x768 or something.

I discouraged my coworkers from using that setting since we could just do it in Photoshop afterward. Seems like that crop-zoom could become a bad habit; it's not proper zoom so don't rely on it. Is my recommendation too harsh?

A good camera! If I weren't so leery of Panasonic, I might get one for myself.
