New Panasonic Camcorders
Digital camera, which one should I buy? TZ5 or FX500? or something else?
I'm thinking of buying a new digital camera. I have one but it's too old, so I need a new one.
Panasonic DMC-FX500

Which one do you think is better?
I'm looking at the same cameras, plus the Canon 870 IS, G9, and some compact Sony with aperture/shutter priority modes. (I forget which one) I'm leaning toward the TZ5 because of the zoom. Here's a link from a site that compares images from these two cameras and more: http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=1&ma1=60&mo1=548&p1=3391&ma2=60&mo2=557&p2=3506&ph=3
