Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K?

Want to upgrade my 3yr old HP Photosmart R707. It has given me great shots... however I love to take Landscape shots too.

I'm considering the Lumix, but is this a good choice? I'm not a professional, so any help you can offer would be great.

BTW;

Does the Lumix perform well at Macro?

O I almost forgot, I do have a budget so the camera has to cost less than $400.

    Hi Johovan,

    The Lumix has a wide angle and also does excellent for macros. I have taken some unbelievable closeups.

    One thing I would recommend is you take a look at the Lumix DMC-TZ3K 7.2MP. It is much more compact. Here is one on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-TZ3K-Digital-O...

    If physical size isn't important get the DMC-FZ8K. I don't think you would regret either camera.

    I hope that helps you make the best decision.
