It might be just the thing, but there are downsides to small sensors, and alternatives to the FZ330 like the 1" sensor FZ1000 and Sony RX10iv, bigger, much more expensive but with the RX10iv the same amount of zoom as the FZ330 and better image quality (brilliant lens apparently, but mind you the FZ330 Leica lens is no slouch). And on the other hand there are tiny marvels like the various travel cameras. Very small and light, loads of zoom (24-720mm equivalent for my Panasonic TZ90) and quite surprising what you can get out of them, especially (IMO, but this is disputed) if you shoot raw and post process (same, IMO, and equally disputed, for the FZ330).
But I expect you have been looking into all the alternatives. and perhaps this isn't the place to discuss it. Not that I mind you understand, it's just that somewhere like the (very friendly) dpreview Panasonic Compact Camera Talk forum has a lot of people experience with small sensor cameras, and very open about both their benefits and their shortcomings, and the alternatives, both from Panasonic and other manufacturers.
Still undecided and the sensor size is not a problem for me as my images are only for the web, i like the post focus and burst modes on the FZ as i'm trying to shoot insects in flight, i'm sure their are more options from other makes but for the price this one seems like a winner.. still reading reviews. Thx Nick.
