hi, i just recently acquired this budget-compact P&S. i was choosing between the canon powershot a590 is and this one. the main factor that got me the lz8 was the branded lens, Leica DC Vario-Elmar. Similar to Sony's Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar.

oh and also, my basis was this head-to-head review --> http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408budgetgroup/page15.asp

haven't had the chance to go out and shoot with this baby, ill post some photos asap. in the meantime, if there are other users out there of the lz8 and lz10, post some shots here please :D

my lumix lz8 :D
