I do still like the Lumix and I still plan to use it. This is a backup. I bought it because it got very high marks from many camera review sites. It has a better telephoto than the Lumix and will shoot five frames per second. Plus it has a best image feature where it makes 12 images every time you push the shutter then selects the best. So far I’m not certain I like the image quality better than my Lumix, but I think its pretty good. I am still playing with it. In a few days I should know for sure what I really think of it.
