Yes, I had been leaning towards Canon for quite a while. It's probably my choice if I don't get a LUMIX. And yes, I am indeed in desperate need of a camera since the one I have now is broken-ish and cheap. Panasonic is, after all, not too shabby when it comes to cameras. Now I'm not a pro-photographer so I don't know about technical stuff and I'd probably get annoyed carrying around a heavier camera. Of course they're beautiful and will get the best shots but I'm not at that level. The DMC FX-38 is an upgrade from my current camera (5.1 megapixel vs. 10.1), with all its fancy features such as a wide-angle lens and tracking modes. However, it's still a regular consumer-class digital camera (which isn't a bad thing, just saying). There are other cameras in the LUMIX line that are a step up from regular digital camera, that is the less-skinny-but-still-glamorous ones. 10x optical zoom sounds awfully nice.

So yeah, I'm kinda stuck.
