want is the sharpest possible still photos possible. What camera under $450.
of all listed long lens point/shoots? I do not care about video at all!
I agree with Kiriana -
Canon's big advantage is the zoom. I want that bad. But I'm still leaning
toward the FZ-150 for lots of details, namely RAW, 52mm filters, build quality
(reviews suggest the Canon feels cheap), and better LCD & flash. Plus I think the FZ looks better. I trust
both companies. My last two cameras were the Canon S3IS and Panasonic DMC-G2; loved both of them.
This site gives the edge to
the FZ-150:

...Although I don't fully
agree with their image quality assessment.
Wish I had enough money to
buy both.
IQ is very close
wide angle and aperture differences are insignificant
I don't care about video, so you decide
The Panasonic has two huge advantages: continuous rate and RAW capture.
Forget the 10x and12x. That's a gimmick. Both cameras shoot at that rate for about one second.
The real continuous rate is what you can do for multiple seconds.
The Canon is .8fps with AF between each shot. The Panasonic is 5.5fps for about 30 shots. Obviously no contest.
So, if you want/need the extra zoom, then the Canon is the obvious choice.
If you want to have max flexibility in post-processing or shoot sports or action, you should purchase the Panasonic.
If you have enough money, buy both!
