Panasonic - Lumix DMC-TZ1 — 

Overall this camera is a great buy. The zoom and resolution allow for amazing nature pictures, as well as any highly detailed thing. The main drawback that I see is that it is difficult to take impromptu pictures. If you see something that you really like, first you have to take off the lens cap, turn the camera on, wait for it to register, then snap the shot and then again wait for it to register. Don't get me wrong, this process doesn't take minutes, I would just want it to be a little quicker so that perfect shot isn't gone before you know it. Otherwise, lightweight, easy to cary on hikes. I got the hardshell carrying case which holds it perfectly. Have used it in the rainforest with, yes, a little bit of rain and nothing got damaged. Comes with software to easily upload pictures and make any adjustments to your pictures. Not really a camera you would take to the club with you for a night on the town, but I definitely have it with me on a hike or a while I travel the world.
