My previous P&S camera was 4MP, slow and basically outdated. After scanning this thread I decided to go for a ZS8. Seems to be the new big brother to the ZS3. I'm more interested in using this as a P&S camera, but good video is a big plus. I'll be putting it through the paces for both still and video this weekend. I don't care about audio, I have an open rig for that, I'm hoping to make a montage of a fest over a couple of songs with pics and video overlayed. I'll report back.
