Panasonic tz3, Canon a720/sd850 ???

[elwiedeeiaye]

Hi
I've read many reviews on all 3...and I'm still stuck. I've narrowed it down this far, but still would like some more input from people who have exp with one or all of these cameras.

Budget is below 300$ which i've seen all priced below anyways.
i will be taking outdoor and indoor shots..so i want something that doesn't produce horrible quality indoors. image quality all together is important to me. manual controls are nice..but not totally necessary...and i don't need a ton. the tz3 and a720 have more optical zoom than the sd850..i've heard the a720 is really slow shot to shot.

any input please, would be really appreciated..i need to get a new camera soon!

thanks!

Do you want a lot of zoom (TZ3), small size (SD850), or a VF with full manual controls (A720)?

As bascom said, you're asking about three very different cameras. Fill out the questionnaire at the top of the forum to narrow things down a bit.
