I was out of town for two weeks. One of my relatives had a serious operation. She is doing a lot better now. We were lucky.. we got a very good news after waiting for two weeks.
I am back to town in my studio. Right before we came here, I searched for Lumix on the net and found a good deal. It was a second hand FZ-50 and the owner was living very closed to where we were staying in Istanbul. So, I now have a Panasonic Lumix FZ-50 
In good condition all with its box, manuals, warranties, cables, etc,..
Here are the reasons for me to select Lumix for stopmotion:
- Flicker free
- Live-view that does not overheat
- Able to shoot in 16:9 widescreen HD size

I have not tried this camera for stopmotion yet. But, I am sure it will perform great! I have been reading its user manual. I will post more when I start using FZ-50 for stopmotion.
