I am very happy with my FZ1 but I have only had it for a couple of weeks.  
The image stabilizer helps me a lot and the IS feature is the main reason
that I got the FZ1.  Yes, I wish it was more than 2mp but that is good
emough to get 1600x1200 background pics since I use that resolution as my
windows desktop.

I also have a Casio EX-Z3 as my carry anywhere camera.  Since it is 3mp, 
the Z3 will be my main wide shot camera.  I have also bought a monopod for 
those times that I'll need a more steady shot.
