Hello All,

I already have a FZ30 but it is just too big to carry around all the time in the car.

I am currently looking for a camera that ran off of AA's with manual controls to learn more about how to use a camera. Once I got the basic's down again then I was going to maybe upgrade to a LX3

I was about to purchase a LZ10 for 170 bucks, but then I noticed that a FX500 is selling for 220 bucks. Considering how much a FX500 retails for, it seems like I should get the FX500. Also CES is starting in less then a week, maybe all of these models will be old in a month.

What do people suggest. I would like to keep to the AA battery format but the FX500 is really only 50 bucks more. Is it worth the extra investment?

Thanks
