*Try it before buy, although manufacturer claimed that the lens is compatible with any digital or video camera but the result output are varies among different devices. The photo taken with this lens on my old Panasonic FZ-8 is unacceptable, eventhough the digital camera is on the list of compatible chart provided.

Camera body and lens cleaning
**Rule No.1 - Only clean the lens when absolutely necessary and use only cleanning products specifically designed for cameras.
Camera body cleaning
Clean the outside of the camera with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Open the cover of the memory and battery compartments occasionally and use a soft brush and a blower to remove dust. Clean the LCD monitor by brushing or blowing off dirt and wiping with a soft cloth, but don't press hard and be sure there is no grit on the cloth that can scratch the surface.
Camera lens cleaning
When cleaning is necessary, use a soft brush and a blower to remove dust. Fingerprints can be very harmful to the lens coating and should be removed as soon as possible. Use a lens cleaning cloth (or roll up a piece of photographic lens cleaning tissue and tear the end off to leave a brush like surface). Put a small drop of lens cleaning fluid on the end of the tissue. (Your condensed breath on the lens also works well.) Never put cleaning fluid directly on the lens; it might run between the lens elements. Using a circular motion, clean the lens surface with the cloth or tissue, then use the cloth or a tissue rolled and torn the same way to dry. Never reuse tissues and don't press hard (Important!! wipe only, never rub) when cleaning because the front element of the lens is covered with a relatively delicate lens coating.

elf Yourself - Happy New Year greeting.
You can make one of these little greetings for yourself at Elf Yourself.com and send it to your friends. In addition, you can record your voice greeting to go along with your card.
In the meantime, you can use Camtasia Studio (http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp) to records activity from your computer screen and audio from a microphone into AVI video files as I did for the embeded "elf YourSelf" greeting.
