I have thought about the QZ 35W for a while now, wondering the same about
lens quality.  The body is big for a P&S, but the features are tremendous.
I think it was Godfrey who told me some friends had it and liked it very
much.  Other than that, I have not found reviews of it.  Cameraworld.com has
20% off P&S cameras now, with excellent pricing on the QZ.
