Please help, decisions decisions....

[Katana]

Budget:
Up to 600 USD

Size:
Dont care

Features:
6+ MP will do, Superzoom if possible, but i can work just fine with 4X-8X, image quality has almost everyone has to be near perfect, i do like to get some manual control of the camera, nothing professional though, but minimal.

General Usage:
I use the camera everywhere in everything possible, shooting landscapes and people, partys, nightshots, daytime photos, sports,cars,etc.....
I usually dont print many fotos, at least no big prints,

Miscellaneous
My favorite brands = Canon, Sony,Panasonic (with Leica lents)

I have a few cameras in mind: Canon S80, Canon ixus 800 IS,Canon S2 IS (but quite big altough a good choice), Panasonic DMC-TZ 1 and finally the Canon A700 (has good reviews anywhere and good photo quality)

Wide angle is welcome but not necessary, image stabilization would be optimal.... please help, I alread have the money but i cant decide on which one :confused: ....I'll compensate opinions with a big thank you :) :)
Any help is welcome. Thank You.

If you want ultra zoom: The Pana TZ1 has no manual controls, but will fit much better in your pocket. The FZ7 is bigger, but has manual controls. Also the S3-IS is a little better then the S2-IS. If you want to take many pictures in low light, check out fuji camara's.
