mk15

Broken In
My friend wishes to purchase a long zoom compact digicam.

Have short listed :

Panasonic tz30 @17k at eBay
Sony hx20v @ 21k at eBay

Please let us have your inputs regarding the same, especially user comments. It would basically be used outdoors and for indoor flash photos.

Thanks so much

Thanks for your input.

Well, he doesn't like canon colors, so the choice boils down to Panny tz30 and Sony hx20v.

Also, the fz150 is not very compact and has a Dslr like form factor.

Expert reviews are overwhelmingly good for both the cameras. It's really tight to pick one...

But...

Limited aperture (f stops), lack of priority modes and price makes me not to recommend Sony.

It's TZ30

Was also considering tz30 but quite a few reviews complain about too much noise...:(

The dilemma continues...

It's common to have mixed reviews... If he finds hard to pick one, ask him to pick the one he likes...
