Panasonic Lumix LX2 or TZ3

[Ticyo]

Hello:) ,

I'm planning on buying a digital camera in the very near future. I've read review after review and finally picked a few camera's in which Im interested. BUT Im still not 100% sure about which one of these is best.

Right now Im leaning towards the Panasonic Lumix LX2. Because of the good reviews I've read, the ability to shoot RAW and the 10MP are strong points.

On the other hand, the Lumix TZ3 sounds good too. The major advantage on this one would be the 10x zoom. However it doesn't have the ability to shoot RAW, and a lil less MP (7.2).

Has anyone worked with these camera's?
What is your opinion on both?

Thanks!
Kind regards,
Tim

The lower MP won't make much of a difference for >90% of all printing purposes. The higher zoom of the TZ3 (and its wide angle) are very nice to have.

Both are good cameras, but all things (price, shipping, etc.) being equal I'd purchase the TZ3 for the extra zoom and the underwater housing, when Panasonic finally ships some to the USA.
