Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 vs Canon PowerShot S3 IS
I'm looking for a new digital camera that can be both a Point & Shoot w/ auto focus controls , and able to be used in a manual mode more like a dSLR, I'd like to get a little more involved with photography as a hobby. They are both close in $, and are both 6MP, and I've read some great reviews about both cameras.
I don't really need a camera that can take a larger picture then 6MP, I like that they use SD/MMC media, size not so important, I really would like something that has a descent processing speed, it's tough to get a picture of a 2yrs expressions when you can't hold their interest long enough for the camera to be ready to snap a pic again.
I'm open to suggestion as well (and it has to be carried by BestBuy as I have over $200 in gift cards for x-mas), and let's not make this a pissing contest please.
