I'm looking for a new camera in the range of 300-400 dollars, I'm currently looking at the Lumix FZ7 (or any other lumix) and the Canon S2. Primeraly I need good image qualtiy, and a full featured camera, with a 12X zoom. I need something compact enough to take on hikes without hastle, so a telesopic lense is a must. It needs to be realivly fast in start up, and I need a good max shutters speed (1/2000 or above), and a good burst shooting mode. I'm, heavy on photoshoping so a perfect image right out of the camera is not essential. I would primarily use it for dragonfly/damselfy/bird pictures, landscapes, and sports photography. It would seem at the moment that there are a variety of cameras that would soot my needs, the FZ20, FZ7, FZ5, S2, S3, and I'm sure I would be happy with either of them, but I would like some input was to which would give me the best results,
Thanks,
