1405595
Related to Best Buy comparison specification of HDC tm55K and tm60k, It looks that tm60k is much waster than 55k. The deal is not good.

Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website. I missed that detail in the comparison. Normally I'd say I wouldn't notice the difference in quality, but given I'll be putting this on my 56 inch HDTV, I bet it will be noticeable. The HF100 does feel cheaper. The extra bulk from the HDD makes the unit more managable. That plus the menu makes it less appealing.I would say the extra $65-70 is justifiable given the 60gb of included space, especially considering if you can get your hands on a 32gb SD card you'll be paying well over $100. Maybe in a year it will be <$100, but by then these camcorders will be cheaper anyway. I've made up my mind on the HG20! Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website.

Well, I'm now reading about another option: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization.This one compares to the Panasonic ZS3 and both sell for approximately the same price. I guess I'm still stuck in wanting to figure out which one of these models (DSC-H20, ZS3, DSC-W350, W370) can do all of the things they promised but at a faster speed.

I have a SD550 as well, I'm getting a Canon G9, seems to be a good all around performer from what I've read, little bigger than 550 but not as big as a Digital SLR. I plan to use it when I'm looking for better pics than 550 can provide.

I read a review at one of the camera review sites, sorry I can't remember which one, that compared the shutter lag times of the two cameras. The Canon had a shorter lag time than the Panasonic in their findings.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

Here's another camera in the same price range you might consider --- Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) As you can see it's similar to the A590 in several respects, but it has a better LCD and more video modes -- http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras;=canon_a590is%2Cpanasonic_dmclz8&show;=all

I am looking to buy my first camera in 7 years. I too am looking for something a little more portable than a DSLR. But I want a camera that effortlessly takes great pics. I am torn between the new Panasonic ZS20 and the Panasonic DMC LX5. If anyone could give a good compare contrast I would be glad to listen. Thanks

I own the Panasonic, so obviously I'm biased. Worth noting that the 54" V10 has just been crowned the King of HDTVs...Buy the Panny. If nothing else, their customer service is WORLDS better than Samsung.

The D5000 is a very good camera. If you want a full frame the D600 is great. What you gain, in my opinion, is better high ISO performance. The picture quality is mainly up to uou no matter what camera upu use. If I were you, I wouldn't spend much time researching and agonizing over it. If you want higher ISO performance, the D600 is a good choice. Just buy it. Then, go out and take lots of pictures. Have fun!

I am also looking at these two cameras. My needs are a good low light performance as well as action sport shots. I had purchased the Panasonic FZ8 but have returned it because the inside low light pictures were very noisy and grainy. It took great outside pictures and was responsibly fast. I'm currently wanting to try the Sony but don't like the idea of having to buy a memory stick for it, I have a few sd cards that the Canon takes.

Have you looked at the Panasonic TM 700K? This is the best video and smallest camcorder around for less than $1000. Flash recording is the way to go for Battery consumption. Would not go into the hard drive versions regardless of the brand

according to the UK website (ww.panasonic.co.uk) below, this sd600 camcorder is 50p "1080/50p recording (Full-HD, 1920 x 1080, 50 progressive recording) conveys about twice the information of 1080i (interlace) recording to produce the ultimate beauty in image quality, exceeding even conventional Full-HD images. It minimises afterimages and moir patterns caused by subject motion and renders crisp, detailed images. 64GB SDXC Card can record approximately 27 hours and 30 minutes of 1920 x 1080i high-definition video in HE mode and approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes of 1920 x 1080p full high-definition video in 1080/50p mode"

Hands down, the T500 is a far superior camera to get for the price. I have been using the T-series cameras since the original T1. The T700 is nice but overpriced for what you get. The screen resolution is not that big a deal as you're more likely going to be viewing images on a computer or in print. Personally, paying extra $ for this feature is a waste. Same thing with the 4GB internal memory -- I always have my USB adapter around to transfer images from the memostick to any computer. Transferring from internal memory is actually more complicated. The one feature that will make a real difference is the 5x optical. Although it doesn't sound like much, over time you will begin to appreciate this difference. The HD video is also a feature that adds true value. When it comes down to it, you need to consider those features that truly impact the image and image quality, versus the other fluff features that don't actually help you to take a better picture.

I owned the SD630 for a year and upgraded to the SD750 last week. One difference is that the 750 supports SDHC while the 630 does not (SDHC comes in 4-8GB). I also find the "macro" shots come out with more detail on the SD750. Low light pictures are so-so on both (and all other compact cameras as they lack the flash power). If the price difference is not too much, go with the 750; otherwise stick with the 630.

I prefer the SONY camera. I even have an Old one model ( 1 Megapixel ) with night vision, and even today I've gotten wonderfurl night videos
