I am planning to get a new digi cam within 300-350 USD. Please advice which one to buy. As of now, I am eyeing S5.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Canon generally has better noise performance than Panasonic or for that matter any other brand. Personally if it wasn't for the fantastic lens, FZ18 wouldn't stand anywhere near S5.Kumar said:@Yogesh
Shouldn't the canon have more noise indoors due to poor lighting conditions?
I don't think S6 will be available at that time, last I heard it was going to be announced in October.raskolnikov said:It should shoot decent quality pictures.
I don't know much about cameras/photography. This is going to be my first camera. High optical zoom camera with good IS is something I am looking for. Other things..I don't know..that's why I started this thread.
When is S6 (or higher) coming? I am planning to get the digicam this July.

aha_neo said:Well it also depends on the form factor you are looking at.
I have a friend who wanted a camera which was POCKETABLE with good optical zoom.
We went to the store here and tried the following S5IS, SONY H-50, Panasonic Lumix FZ-18 and Olympus SP570UZ though we were really impressed by their capabilities we really didn't think they were pocketable.
At the least you will have to hand them around your neck.
We ultimately settled for CANON SX100IS it has the ZOOM 10x and is pocketable.
So just consider this factor as well.

FZ18 cheaper than S5 any day in US.
right now retailing at amazon for 289$ compared to 330$ for S5.
