New Toy
Has the widest view of any digital camera on the market, works great for close-ups and panoramas alike, a good mid-priced multipurpose tool. Has a unique "direct" histogram to tell you which parts of the image will be under or over-exposed before you shoot with little blue and red squares.
Here's a detailed DCRP Review that clinched it for me. Only drawbacks so far is the relatively large form factor and distribution of controls throughout the body that I may simply haven't gotten used to yet.
Ah, thanks...now I'm suffering from megapixel envy :).

I just ordered this camera today! I should have it the middle of next week. My Nikon Coolpix 995 is dying a slow death after pumping out 35,000 images in two years, so I'm looking forward to a new tool. I had considered some of the SLRs such as the Canon Digital Rebel, but they are bulkier than I'd like, and I just don't need to change lenses. I'll be taking the 5060 out for some kind of shoot next weekend and will post the results. I hope you're still enjoying yours.
