    5X zoom and view finder

    Thanks to everyone for their comments. Based on comments here and another thread I have decided to go with the Panasonic LZ8. I can join the rest of the world and not use a view finder. I did look at the A590 at the store and it is bigger than I wanted is why I started considering other...

    DPReview's Budget Camera Roundup

    Thanks for the comments. I think I am going to go with the LZ8 then since they seem pretty similar and 8 megapixel is enough for me. David

    DPReview's Budget Camera Roundup

    I've been trying to decide on a new camera. I like the 5X zoom on the Panasonic so am leaning toward it now over my original though of the Canon A590. Question - Do you think the differences for the lz10 warrant buying it over the lz8? Main differences so far I see is a little wider...

    5X zoom and view finder

    Maybe I am just a creature of habit. It seems easier to hold the camera steady with the view finder, but having said that I have not really tried using the LCD too often. I have noticed the issue you mentioned with my old camera not accurately showing the coverage size in the view finder...

    5X zoom and view finder

    I am looking for a digital camera for taking pictures on vacations and general use. I would like a 5X or so zoom (old camera was 3X and seemed to be too little many time) and I also want a view finder. If it is relatively compact for easy transport that is a plus. Decent pictures of course...

    Free Office Pro 2007 and Office Groove 2007

    I was at the Dallas launch too and they only gave out a full key for the Office 2007 and groove. The bag did have a Vista eval copy in it but it did not have a full key for it, just the evaluation. The one for Office 2007 worked great.

    You do not say what kind of print server you are using. I will assume that it is a Windows server being used as a print server. If so, you can use IPP printing to provide a very easy to use web browser selection tool for the users to choose their own printer. It does not cost extra but needs...
