I'm seriously considering purchasing one of the Panasonic DMC FZ series cameras. I've read tons of reviews and users' comments at several different sites, and have visited photography forums.

I have read 2 or 3 comments about the Panasonic warranty being only 3 months and one person (at Amazon.com, I think) complaining about his/her camera not being covered for repairs since it broke after just 3 months.

I know that any camera of any make or model can unexpectedly break, but a 3 month warranty seems a little short to me.

Does anyone know about this? I haven't seen any comments about it in any of the pros' reviews.

The other contender is the Canon PowerShots S2 IS after it is released at the end of June.... if I can wait that long and if the reviews are as good as the Panasonic cameras I'm reading about. (One of my main criteria is the 10x or 12x zoom.)
