Hey guys, looking to buy a camera, hoping someone can help.
I wanted something powerfull, with good zoom, image stabilization, and something that can shoot action well (not blurring and not laging too much from between pressing the button and the picture being taken). The girl wanted something small and easy to carry. Oh, and if it can fall a few times and not break, well that would be nice too.
Here is what I came up with.
The panasonic TZ5 $235

Or the smaller TX3 $139

Both have 10x optical zoom, optical stabilization and do good with wide angle shots? Not much comment on action shots, except some guy who couldnt take pictures of jets at an airshow with the TZ3. Any advice?
