Great camera for the price, w/ lot of features!!
Pros:
Picture-taking and video in one device, ability to use SD cards, no special batteries
Cons:
Videos can be "shaky" and usually have terrible "wind noise" in the background
The Bottom Line:
I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a great picture-taking camera with the added ability to record to some video

Author's Review
My sweetie backed over his last camera with the car, thus prompting our need for a new one.
It's been a year since we've purchased the LZ2 and we love it! It's like having a fancy camera and a camcorder -- in one small package! We've taken this camera to the track to film him riding his motorcycle, out on the water for an air show, and through the mountains to capture breathtaking scenery.
The camera is small, lightweight, and silver in color. At the top we've got the rotating switch to set the camera to the feature you would like to use, such as picture taking, filming video, reviewing pictures/video, etc. It includes an easy-to-find on/off flash button and features up to 6x zoom. It also includes a screen at the back so that you can see what you are capturing.
It comes with a patch cord that allows you to plug the camera into a TV to watch the video you've recorded or the pictures you have taken. Very nice for sharing!
Our favorite feature is the ability to insert SD memory cards to increase the amount of photos and video that you can store. We typically use 1GB cards and can get hundreds of photos and quite a few lengthy videos.
Transferring the data to a computer is very easy and the quality of the photos is AMAZING. We have been able to take photos, upload them on the computer, and print flawless 8x10 photos. It is *really* that good. The videos aren't professional quality, but still very, very good for such a small device. It takes two AA batteries.
