Here are some of my suggestions for making great tea, two things: A small digital thermometer (I find reading digital faster and easier). Many teas have a recommended temperature and a small thermometer will tell me when it is best to add the water to the tea leaves. And a good...

I have a F30, but haven't used in a while- the LX3 has taken it's place. Hoping for a Micro Four Thirds with a proper viewfinder.

tonatona, nice Laco. Clean and minimalist, I like it.

philodox, I've read some of your posts on which camera to choose. Have you defined what you want this camera to do? If you want that all in one camera and not bother about multiple lenses, a Panasonic DMC FZ50 or similar camera may do the job- as long as size is not an issue. Found it at...
