our first thought when we ordered the fz28 was that we'd hang on to the point and shoot kodak as a 'snap shot' camera.

it can do all the manual stuff but most importantly, when you need to take a quick shot, it's automatic functions are by far the best.

the biggest difference i've noticed is the much faster performance: you can pretty much take snapshots as fast as you can find good things to take pictures of.
from www.amazon.com
whether a detailed picture trying to capture centuries old stained glass or my quick shots out of the car window, the end results are priceless.
