That is too funny - I'm laughing with you not at you. I have a 1D Mark II and I can't tell you how many times I've flubbed up the settings. It's usually stuff I've set on a previous shoot, like leaving the camera at ISO 1600 in bright daylight conditions or had set a custom white balance that I forgot to change back to auto.

My wife has a Canon SD500 tiny little digital and the settings are really easy to change by mistake. Especially the flash settings - auto, no flash, red-eye, etc. I try to review my wife's pictures and settings frequently.

Looks like the Panasonic has what you're looking for with some nice features.

When you're traveling, standard batteries are handy.
