At least you admit, it's just guesses. Remember, Panasonic sports the highly reputable Leica lens. Does anyone know of any site that shows side by side comparisons for advanced compact point and shoot cameras? I chose my Panasonic due to the high ratings and Leica lens. It also doesn't hurt to have extremely minimal shutter lag and much faster burst rate than the Canons. It would be nice to see how the image quality compares with others in the field. I read in Outdoor Photographer a few months ago that nowadays, advanced compact P & S cameras can rival lower end dslr cameras in image quality.
