Hi all .. I want to replace my first digicam (Fuji S3000) mainly because I want something smaller to carry around with me all the time, and my old Fuji is too big for that!

Ideally I would like 1) pocket size 2) 6x or more zoom 3) and weather/splash proof ... I forgot to mention that ever since a close encounter with a can of beer the buttons on my Fuji have been a bit sticky....:sad:

I'm a point'n'shoot and maybe scene mode person and use my camera for general snaps, family, scenery, flowers etc. I don't think I can get all 3 wishes (any genies out there? :-)) so will probably have to compromise for now.

I love having 6x zoom and really do not want anything less, so on that score the LZ1 seems to fit the bill - I would welcome any thoughts.

Thanks, Kaydee

Neither one, thank you.
