The Lumix is horrible at low-light picture taking. They're about the same for good-lighting. Since the Lumix you're suggesting is about the same zoom, I'd pick the Fuji model you chose over the Lumix model you chose any day. Only thing that sucks is buying the xD cards, but you can get a 2GB xD card for $40, so it's not THAT bad.

The Lumix LZ7 is a nice camera. It's new, so there aren't professional reviews out yet. I actually sent someone a link to amazon, where there are 8 customer reviews, all giving the camera a 5/5 stars. You should check it out. Just type LZ7 at www.amazon.com.

I will never recommend a Casio camera, due to all the lens issues I've heard about and had with mine, personally. That said, I can at least attest to Casio cameras having good movie quality. CNET readers (only 3 of them so far) give this camera a 6.3/10, and amazon readers give it just shy of 5/5 stars.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B000MXMP1W/sr=8-1/qid=1178880823/ref=cm_cr_dp_pt/103-2631986-1747806?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics&qid=1178880823&sr=8-1

If you're looking at a $250-$300 camera, though, I'd personally be looking at a Canon SD800IS, SD700IS, SD750, Fuji F31fd or Fuji F40.

I know the 10MP Casio looks attractive and sounds impressive -- on paper... but the more megapixels you squeeze onto the same CCD, the more blotchy/grainy your pictures will be.

Having a higher-quality 7MP camera allows you to do much more with it (zoom, crop, edit, etc). If you want a high megapixel camera, even consider the SD900 from Canon as well.

Again, I'm biased, so all I can say is that, from about 2 dozen reviews, reviewers are giving it a thumbs up.

You want a good ultracompact? Probably the Sony N2 or T-50. I'm not too updated on those, so I don't know how much they run. They have the same problems with low-light as the Canons, but that's pretty much common as all ultra-compacts (outside of Fuji).

Well thanks very much matt for these replies, right now windows vista on this new laptop is taking the time away from researching camera :) Theres too much cameras and i guess many have many flaws,

So I assume that either the Sony N-2 or T-50 has great movie taking quality and picture taking w/o the need of the flash? i dont really like to use flash that much unless its necessary

You should really look into the Fuji F31fd or Fuji F40. You mention not using the flash a lot, and the Fuji is the only camera I know of with the super CCD that will bring in more light and help you avoid using flash. Like I said, they're great cameras. The Canon will take SLIGHTLY better outside/bright-light pictures, but overall, this no-flash idea you're looking at will more than make up for it.

You might be able to find a Fuji finepix f30 for around $200 "buy it now" on ebay. I'd say that's a better value than any 8, 10 or 12 megapixel compact you can find in terms of image quality in low light. The f40 is inferior to the f30, and the f50 is inferior to the f40.
