A review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 digital camera has been posted at imaging resource.
Here is part of the review conclusion:
“[…] There really isn’t anything else like it on the market from any of the other manufacturers.
The Panasonic DMC-LZ2 is a fine little camera, and clearly one of the best bargains on the market for a long-zoom, optically stabilized digital camera.
You really can’t match its combination of 5 megapixels, 6x zoom and optical image stabilization for anywhere near its price, and its compact body design is an added plus.”

Imaging resource has published a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ4 digital camera.
The review verdict:
“Bottom line, for the $50 or so difference in “street” prices, I think the Panasonic FZ5 is a much better deal than the FZ4. That said though, if you want a really fast digital camera for shooting sports or other distant action, you just can’t do better than the FZ4: It combines a very long zoom lens with optical image stabilization, and some of the fastest shutter response and shot to shot times of any (non-SLR) camera I’ve tested.”

The review verdict:
“It offers the same water resistance that makes the rest of the Stylus line so practical for go-anywhere photography, and sports a big, beautiful 2.5-inch LCD monitor to view your photos on.
[…]The Olympus Stylus 500 is a very capable, highly portable point & shoot camera, with good image quality and a better than average lens. Its point & shoot simplicity and 20 preset Scene modes make it easy for even novice users to bring home great-looking photos. Another Dave’s Pick for Olympus!”

Here is an abbreviated version of the review results:
“The E-300’s image quality is generally quite good, with pleasing color and image noise matching that of the competition at all but the highest ISO setting.
[…] The Olympus E-300 does provide a lot of photographic control, a lot of resolution, and good-looking photos for a very affordable price.
If you’re shopping for a digital SLR, and don’t already own a bagful of Canon or Nikon lenses, the Olympus E-300 EVOLT deserves a close look.”
