Thanks for the reminder of the LZ8.  I had noted it as a potential P&S 
buy when I saw that it was one of the co-winners of DPReview's "Budget 
Camera Group Test" <http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408budgetgroup/> 
but then promptly forgot about it.  It's good to hear you're pleased 
with it.

The other winner was the Sony W120 with it being called the "best pocket 
point & shoot" and the LZ8 being called the "overall winner".  The LZ8 
is the better photographer's tool (as Warren points out below) but not 
so easily stuffed in a pocket.
