Thanks for the link John, I've got a budding 8 year old David Bailey who has a camera on his 3 page Santa list, so the timing is perfect.
I've always rated the DPReview site and also found the following link to the Panasonic LZ8:

It looks like he'll be getting this.

Thank you as well. I just picked up the Nikon L18. Couldn't find the Panasonic L28 but I did see the Cannon A590IS. I liked the Cannon's zoom and stablilzaion but didn't like the ergonomics for my first time user wife. The Nikon zoomed quicker and is smaller. For $100 if fit in the gift limit. Now I can shoot a couple of shots of my room/system after Christmas
