Panasonic - Lumix DMC-TZ1 —
Being a relatively newcomer to the world of digital photography I needed something idiot proof! I found it in the Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ1. I hate to read instruction booklets but found the one with this camera very understandable for the novice. My husband and I love to be outdoors. Hiking in the mountains or walking on the beach brings me great opportunities to use this camera. I love the compact size as I hate to carry extra gear. Just slip it in your pocket and you are prepared for whatever Mother Nature shares with you. The zoom feature is easy to use and right at your fingertip. I know I still have a lot to learn about all the features but I can already get some great shots with what I learned in a week. No break in period. Just aim and shoot. If it doesn't turn out well, just delete. The miracle of digital.
