Secondly, go to DPReview and look at their reviews, and especially look at their sample images; make sure you look at some of the more difficult ones in full resolution. Secondly, some of the things about a camera you will not discover before you actually use it. On my fz18, the narrowest focusing spot allows me to sometimes autofocus correctly on a bird that is partly obscured by leaves and branches; I have other cameras where the point is so large to make that impossible.
