Query: Mega O.I.S makes for high performance

I can't say enough about the quality of Panasonic's image stabilization. This works well above the competition, but you'll need a tripod when using full digital zoom. The Leica lens was also a deal maker for me. Pictures turn out sharp and properly exposed, build quality is solid,and the camera's menu is easy to understand.The battery goes a long way on each charge--I got about 320 exposures the first try. I also appreciate the high angle option on the LCD. The only thing I have a problem with is the excessive noise at ISOs above 200, but that can be expected out of many other equivalent models that cost much more than the FZ7. Bottom line-----could'nt find a better value than the FZ7.
