I realized that, for the photography I do, 8 mp was not necessary.

The extra resolution will always be handy for cropping purposes.

The FZ20 has a much longer zoom and is easier to find. .

Go for the Olympus Camedia C-8080. It out performs all other 8
megapixel ZLR type cameras. It is the best ZLR.
