My Dad is taking a trip to Italy, and needs a camera. He doesn't want to lug anything big around, so he passed on taking my XTi. He was looking at the Sony W150, but I tried to tell him that point and shoot cameras do point and shoot things, he's not going to be happy with the results. He used to develop his own photos years ago, and I know once he gets back into it, he'll be disappointed if he buys something like that.
He's also a cheap son of a *****, and was looking at Kodak. I had to shoo him away from there.
I've been looking around and the Panasonic DMC-FZ28K seems to be about right. Any opinions on it?
From what I understand, the Lumix cameras are actually very good. I tend to be a Nikon/Canon slut because the make good stuff, but it's more expensive. He also balked at the 2.1 lbs of the P80.
Thoughts?
