From a pretty long Nikon user, I switched to FX-33 wth the iA more than a year ago and absolutely no regrets. Very good for amateur photographers with no so steady hands =)

I didn't know there were external flashes available for the FZ series (I have the FZ18). I thought that was the realm of Canon compacts.

You also mis-labeled the FZ series as "LX Series"
