Re: Battery bias?
Nothing wrong with battery packs!
All our digital cameras except for the Panasonic LZ2 use them. No issues at all. Never even had the need for a 2nd battery on our Panasonic FZ8 out shooting for the day either!
Also, as for your choices, I vote for the Panasonic. If you check around they are winning just about every test/comparison/competition on each level of camera! Yes, they did beat out the G10 as well from Canon. The FZ28 is an amazing camera! And if you are printing normal sized pictures you will NOT see any difference between it and your 35mm Minolta, if anything, the Panasonic images will look a bit better due to the in camera processing done.  .
P.S. Also, with 3rd party manufacturers like SterlingTek making battery packs for almost all cameras, you can buy extra battery packs dirt cheap, and they actually last longer and out perform the OEM ones too!
