We have the Lumix, too. It's the second one we've had. I can't remember if we got this one because the first one broke, or this was just an upgrade that DH "wanted." We got the original one because DH wanted a camera that could fit in a bike jersey. All of the gorgeous pics I've posted on my European trips were taken with it. He had a very nice digital SLR camera that had not been used since DS #1 graduated from college in 2005. We sold it on E Bay last year.
I am a terrible photographer, so I don't care what camera we have! However, I like the idea of having a camera that can fit in my purse or jersey. And it definitely takes better pictures than my I Phone.
