Marcie,
It's a Panasonic FZ-20 with a 12x optical zoom. Has Leica lens and built-in stabilizer. Am very happy with it. I was just reading about the new FZ-50, and I concluded, I would go for an FZ-30, if I was in the market now. I do need to learn how to do night shots better. It's an auto-focus, though you have the option of doing manual focus, which I tried a few times without better results.
