22mm wideangle, 8x zoom, CMOS sensor... $169! Fab! Hopefully this gets a good image quality review as this will be added to the shopping list if thats the case! A few manual controls wouldn't go a miss also :)

Looks like 5.9 - 36 on the lens, which with a standard compact CCD array, would give 25 - 125 35mm equivalent (It also says 25mm wide on the lens). Shame 22 wide angle would be sweet

Woops that should have been 25 - 154 35mm equivalent, which is only about 6x zoom. weird

@Ghillie - It's actually saying 4.5-36 on the lens, making it 25-200 8x zoom 35mm film equivalent. I agree on those 22mm and I personally think it's a shame, also. I'm currently packing TZ5 with me on travels and while I like it really much, I wouldn't mind better low light conditions + low ISO IQ a 22mm lens would surely be able to achieve. So let's better get busy shooting competition worthy pictures and keep hopes high Cliff would like us to shoot them on LX3 next time around :)))

The Panasonic website lists this as the DMC-ZX1.

A few sites are taking pre-orders for £269 - either they are way off with their prices or the camera isn't such a bargain after all.

Less haste more speed Gordon ;) Having said that, if anybody wants to make a camera that exists only in Gordon's head I will buy it lol (The camera, not his head)

Looks like it's the old $1 = £1 trick. I was just about the buy a TZ7, but I think I'll hold off for this camera as it's much smaller.
