September would be about right. The FZ's tend to come out about that

It won't get any better until they use a much larger sensor.

A larger sensor in the same package means cutting the effective zoom
way back. There have been a few cameras that have tried that. I
have no idea how well they've sold.

I think they should keep about the same sensor size and drop the
pixel count down to 6Mp or so, where the FZ30 should have been.
The package is very nice. It just needs to go on a pixel diet.
Fat chance they'll listen to me. :-)

No a dSLR size would be fine by me for the larger sensor. In fact I would
junk my Pentax K10D for a Panasonic FZ60 that offered the larger sensor, 12X
Leica lens and 10MP.

Somebody!
