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. Later, Steven
