I'll just add a portion of my response that was given in our other posted topic of contention between us... I understand and appreciate your position and 'hard-line' opinionon the Panasonic's 'Extended Optical Zoom' . You are correct in that the same image that is exposed on the center 5-MP or 3-MP portion of the 8-MP chip when employing the EOZ feature is the same data, albeit at an apparently reduced IQ, as is present if the full 8-MP image were exposed. But, please note that I did not make any reference to this IQ aspect -- whether it was better, equal or worse. I merely stated the true issue in that, when utilizing the EOZ feature,one is afforded an image that is equivalent to 635mm. ie, the Field of View with this image is equivalent to a 635mm lens on a 35mm film. The image recorded is via an optical zoom and is not digitally interpolated upward in size. So it is not a 'digital zoom' in that sense. It is analogous to cropping an 8-MP image to the center 5-MP or 3-MP except Itwas a metered, exposedimage at the time of the exposure --metered/exposed for the final, reduced FOVand was produced by an optically zoomed Leicalens (in the case of the Pany FZ7/FZ30 models). The resultant image produced has a Field of View equivalent to a ~635mm lens onto a 35mm film plane (in the case of the EOZ 3-MP setting). |

Congratulations on your purchase! Let us hear from you when you have had a chance to play with the H5. To be honest, before I settled on the FZ7, the H5 was very high on my list, so I'd appreciate reading your review of its performance and image quality. :|
