If this camera had a better sensor, when mine was stolen I wouldn't have replaced it with a DSLR: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicfz50
This camera was pretty much the pinnacle of "point and shoot" user interface design. Two thumbwheels, two rings on the lens, one for zoom, one for focus. It pretty much had every advantage of an EVF point and shoot, but it could handle just like an SLR. If they were re-do the camera with a modern sensor, I would actually be tempted.
