Well I got my camera tonight. It is too late to break it out and have fun so I will do that tomorrow then we leave Friday for 9 days. Disney here we come.
I was still on the fence between the Panasonic and the Canon. Well I found a fourth store here in town today that had a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 on display and guess what, the automatic lens cap was broken. That is 3 out of 4 displays with a broken lens. Decision made.
I went with the Canon ELPH SD 800 IS. The 900 I was looking at earlier had more megapixels but did not have the image stabilization and I wanted that.
So... I will give a more detailed review in the coming weeks.
Thanks a million to all who contributed and made me think hard about it.
Cheers.
