I haven't compared it with the other models you listed but on every Panasonic point-and-shoot I have used, the still image quality and video have been rather remarkable. However, on the video front, I am really liking the Casio point-and-shoot cameras. Not only do they do HD, many of them have high-speed shooting modes allowing for super slow motion. Some of them now allow for over 1000 fps at a lower web resolution. Still image quality is pretty stellar as well. Kelsci,

IMHO it shoots better than the tz5. I thought that the color quality and sharpness is beyond reproach. I have played with Panasonic's dmc-ls80 and ls85. The ls80 shoots darn good videos with nice mono sound. The ls85 is a very capable snapshooter below the league of the LZ8 but great because it is small. It takes slightly noiser videos than the 80 but they are razor sharp with the camera giving great mono audio. The TZ5's 720P high def mode however appears to be superb;virtually video noise free with great color and briteness. I saw this picture and one other with the DMC-LZ8.

I believe that was a view from the primitive trail around "Double Arch" in "The Windows" section. <a href="http://www.arches.national-park.com/map.htm" rel="nofollow">On this map</a>, you can see it on the right hand side in the center. I remember from the parking lot, there is a wooden path up to the arches. From there, you can take the primitive trail that wraps around the backside which would be from where I took that image. I hope that helps! Rhi,

I'm planning a road trip with some friends in May, we're going to be travelling through the Arches National Park. I have a photo of myself sitting infront of an arch from 1988, when I was 7yrs old. I couldn't believe it when I Googled and found the extact same one here on your page (day 3)! I would love to find that same arch and get an updated version! For one, my hair is better and my knees aren't nearly so knobbly... Is this one easy to spot? Could you give me any pointers on how to go about finding it? Is it on a certain trail? We only have one day to explore- and some driving too, so not even a whole day really. Many thanks, Rhi (England) Hi there Max,

It is also hard to take a bad photo when the world around is so beautiful. Thanks Ryan. It is also hard to take a bad photo when the world around is so beautiful.
