Time for a tea break sturos.

Thanks folk you Have convinced me that for all practical purposes I have a good camera, and that to invest in a DSLR might not give VFM.

My understanding is that to get as much zoom as x18 would mean a seriously expensive DSLR with zoom lens and the 'outfit' would be top heavy and more difficult to handle than the FZ18.

what do the letters mean in the types of lenses, for example my new camera lenses are AF-S DX but I've seen others with VR in the model name? Photobucket

Your Lumix is one I looked at when changing camera last year ( joint birthday/Christmas pressie 🙂 ) but I love the swivel screen and wouldn't want to be without that now. Most of my photo's are of our pets so the swivel makes it so easy to get down to their level or even take a pic when they think I'm not watching them :-D

No, I went for the Canon S5 IS as was pleased with previous Canon, but that was one reason ( swivel screen ) I looked at the FZ50.

Think all cameras should have it as makes experimenting much easier, up high shots, low shots, round corners even 😄
Took some of foxes while hiding behind a shed, they thought someone was about but couldn't see me, only the camera :-D
