Canon SD630 vs Panasonic FX01

[ggweci]

debating between these two... i want something nice and small that will take fast pics (from pic to pic)

SD630
Pros:
3" screen
Smaller than the Panny
Cons:
No battery meter (a big pet peeve)

FX01
Pros:
28mm
IS
2.5" screen with better resolution
Preconfigured settings (Heart mode, program mode)
Cons:
More noise
Not as small as the Canon

thoughts?

I'd personally choose the FX01 - I own the FX8 and took a TON of UN-NOISY Indoor Pics !!! Noise only increases at ISO 400 and up and with OIS, I never found the need to use such high ISO. The 28mm lens is a BIG PLUS and so is the battery meter. I own the SD550 and the lack of a "smart" battery meter is maddening - you ALWAYS have to carry a spare - not so with the Lumix.
