I can't really comment on the FZ50, but with many digital cameras you can save photos at more than one "resolution". So although my FZ30 will save 8 Mpx photos, I use the 5 Mpx setting as it's quite enough for my purposes! The FZ30 will also save at 3, 2 and 1 Mpx, so doubtless the 50 will do all these plus 10 Mpx if you really want that!

A further comment after using my camera for about 1,000 pics now. The ccd is seriously noisy in some types of pic (even at 80 ISO). These are pics where there are large areas of plain colour or rather dark areas. I also don't like some of the results with flash, when the sensor heavily oversaturates reds and browns. I do not know of course if this applies to the FZ50. It certainly didn't happen with my Nikon Coolpix 4300.

Some more FZ30 samples and comments on the two pages on my site starting here:

It's a marvellous camera to use though and much like having an SLR, but better. Overall I'm very happy with it. The zoom is incredible. For the price (£360 basic) the FZ30 is great value, but in 3-4 years I shall definitely looking to move away from the FZ series if they don't greatly improve the sensor.
