Panasonic - Lumix DMC-TZ1 —

I agree that it is not very fast to respond, but the image stabilizer is fantastic.
This camera is great for nature trips where you don't want to carry a normal size SLR!!
The below picture was taken on a very windy day at the 12x setting without a tripod or other support. I was standing on a sand dune, so I was a little unstable as well. There are very thin antennas on the top of the light and they are sharp as a tack.
This photo was used in a calendar and it had more resolution than was necessary to print a high quality image.
The camera sports an awesome Leica lens an is easy to hold and control with the aid of it's built in hand grip.
