Marilyn, I have the Panasonic Lumix FZ8. It's got a ton of features including RAW. Very good value. There is a newer model out - isn't there always? My main pocket camera is an Oly Stylus 810. It does very good pics but no optical view finder. I hear camera prices have been going up so last year's models may be real bargains. AZ Build a 120/35mm Lookaround! The Lookaround Book.
