Interesting development: the "hybrid" camera
From the interesting news department comes this:

Never mind the specific maker/model, if this type of camera performs as well as it sounds, this could be a "big deal". Especially since it describes the camera I want!
I love my FujiS9100 for the feel of the DSLR and 90% of the functionality I want (100% of what I need) but with lower cost and convenience of the single, long-zoom lens. One of the downsides of this type of camera is the smaller sensor--and this seems to address that.

Re: Interesting development: the "hybrid" camera
I am interested in this type of camera. At the moment I have a Kodak CX7530 point and shoot although it has lots of manual settings available. I have always been satisfied with the pictures taken but now would like to move up from 5 MP and 3x optical zoom to a bigger and better model.I don't want (nor can I afford) a DSLR and having had an SLR years ago am not keen on going back to the weight of a big camera. This "hybrid" type camera seems to fit the bill completely.
I have been looking into different brands and quite like the Kodak Z980 and the Pentax X70. I am wondering if anyone is using these cameras or if anyone can give me some much needed advice on things to consider or what to buy. I have read so many reviews that my head is spinning. If there is something else out there I should consider please let me know.
Cheers Diane

Hi Dick,
i peeked last view month onto the GH1 of Panasonic:
Here is a review:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicdmcgh1/
It seems that this cam is real expensive in comparision to it's competitors, but if you see that it offers a bigger lens:
14-140mm and a swivel-lcd...
it is worth it...
Looking at the videos here at vimeo:
http://vimeo.com/groups/gh1/videos
You can see that it has a lot of features including the superbe video-quality.
But till now, i am only peeping - years ago i moved from my SLR including lenses to a superzoom...
and now in do want to go a step back, but this camera with its lens...
I just had to finish here, because the longer i think about it the more it keeps me saying:
Buy me, please! You need me, you know it...!

Re: Interesting development: the "hybrid" camera
Thank you Michael for responding to my post.
I had a good look at your suggestion and although it sounds like magic it is a little above my price limit. For the amount I use a camera I simply can't justify spending that amount on my new camera. I will keep looking for a while before making a decision.
If anyone else has any suggestions I would be thankful for them.
Cheers, Diane
