Class camera - buy recommendation !!!

I got the TZ18 two days ago and subjected to a first hardness test the very next evening. We had a corporate event on which I have made a couple of pictures. In good times and in low light conditions, the TZ18 has made great pictures all my colleagues were thrilled the next day. There were there hardly noisy or blurred images and the colors were exactly as they should be. I must say, I look at the images on a 19 inch screen and when they are there sharp, then the image is good for me. I have to do me any photo wallpaper or a giant canvas of the pictures. For my photo books in DIN A4 format, the images are therefore more than adequate. I had read the TZ5 and compared to this camera with full manual settings have been added that I will certainly try out again. The 16x zoom and 20x zoom in iZoom mode is terrific and there is no problem even at full zoom to make sharp images without a tripod.
So for all who are looking for beautiful high-quality camera with a high zoom range I can only recommend the TZ18. I have also decided against the TZ22 for the new CMOS Senors and am totally happy. GPS I do not need any more than the touch panel or the 3D function.
