Panasonic FZ5 - so, what's next?

Just starting a new thread, cuz I don't wanna work right now.

So, I'm gonna get the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 in maybe a couple weeks or
so. Waiting for the price to drop a little bit. I see it's already down
to $435.00 at www.butterflyphoto.com. I guess it might go to under
$400.00 relatively quickly.

So, I'm assuming if I wait too long, the next generation of super-zoom
digicams will come out, and I'll be second-guessing my decision to
purchase the FZ5!

Anyone have any ideas as to what new digicams are about to come out that
will compete with the FZ5 (for about the same price), but may be even
better? Any clues as to when they'll come out on the US market?

How does one find out this information? The FZ5 has been discussed quite
a bit, and much before it's official release date. I'm assuming you're
getting this info from photography magazines, correct? Are there
websites out there that announce the newest digicams that have just been
released, or are about to be released? I'm assuming there won't be many
reviews of any 'future' releases, yet, but, just reading the specs
should tell us something.

Well, if anyone has any info about future digicams that would be a
competitor to the FZ5, but may in fact be even better, I'd love to hear
about them!

TIA,

I'll likely still get the FZ5, but it won't hurt to keep an open mind!
