One more try.

I was all settled on the FZ3 at $330 until I was told in another thread that the F20 has now dropped to $500. Seems like I would be getting a lot more camera for $170 more .... am I correct?

Just a few questons:

1) The top end of the lens is fine but I wish it went just a bit lower say to (28 or 24 mm) for those indoor family pictures (never seem to get back far enough in a small room to get everyone in the shot). The Panasonic wide angle adapter lens is expensive. Since the FZ20 will blow my budge, I am looking for a cheep out. Will the cheaper Raynox work (I know they list one but maybe I should ask how well it will work ....about $120 with adapter tube)?

2) Will filters screw directly onto the camera? What size?

3) Can I use a standard manual flash (left over from my 35mm) on this unit (I am guessing I should use an adapter I found on the web to make sure the voltage is below 24 volts ... or ???)?

Finally is there a review on this camera? I didn't find one on the web and it seems from the posts I have read that one has not been done yet.

Thanks for all the help!
