I am ready to take the plunge and upgrade to a better digital camera! I currently own a Canon SD100.

I am a hobby photographer and I travel extensively. I want to be able to capture scenery, faces of people, nature, etc.

I want at least a 10x optical zoom, 5< mp and image stablizer.

So far I really like to Canon Powershot S3 and the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3S.

The Canon is a bit large so I am afraid I may draw attention to myself by carrying what appears to be a fairly expensive camera. I travel to some places where petty theft such as purse or camera snatching are common.

The Panasonic is a great size!

With all of that being said, which would you recommend or is there another camera that you think would be better for my needs?

I have read many reviews but there aren't many for the Lumix because it is new.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
