Default Is this a decent camera?

http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-...8073143&sr=8-1
Anybody have one? Opinions? Looking for right around the 300 range.
I wanna do some hdr, and that can do raw images, which will be helpful.

OK, I was thinking of the Canon SX10 as well, but this is cheaper.

I have the fz-18, and I definitely like it so far. Haven't tried as much HDR as I was planning, but it does take RAW so thats a plus.

Check out my deviantart in the sig to see some pictures it takes. Just take a look in the info section to make sure, some of the pictures are from my cellphone

the panasonic fz28 is a pretty decent camera but it has been the market for half year already. Nikon have brand new Coolpix P90. It has a wonderful 24x zoom. The vari-angle LCD monitor allows you to take pictures in many different angle! Don't forget NIKKOR lens can take some very good photos!
