        Phase detection? If true, this is possibly and arguably the best p&s camera around.

        nice looking camera with some good spec. im totally stumped with the bridge camera market at the moment though. i thought i'd narrowed it down to 2 cameras, the Nikon P500 and the Fujifilm HS20, but now ive seen videos that show quality issues with the HS20 and i dont know if the 10megapixels on offer with the P500 is going to keep me happy in the long term. now a friend who owns a lumix g3 has thrown a spanner in the works and got me looking at Panasonic's Lumix range and i'm torn. basically ive got a budget (going by amazon pricing at the moment) of around £280 GBP. can anyone tell me from expreience where i should be thowing my money?
         
        many thanks
