    dpreview.com seems to like the Panasonic a bit better.

    Check out this comparison page. Click on "In-depth review" and "Read Owner Opinions" for each camera. Be sure to note that the reviews are many pages long so you don't stop after page one. Check the sample images, also. You can enlarge these to full size images if you click on the file name shown below the picture. You will have to then put your cursor in the white space to the right of the picture and click once. After that, you can pass your cursor over the image and it will turn into a magnifier. Click it as a magnifier once and the image will go to full size and you can really examine the detail or look for artifacts like purple fringing around items in high contrast photos or noise in darker areas of the picture.

    go for the Lu mix tz3, the reason is that it has a much higher quality lens then the Olumpus and will give you a sharper photographs!

    Thank You,

    I myself have a Canon, but I heard the Olympus is pretty good.

    I have a nikon and a canon. I like them both, canon is better in some ways and nikon in others.

    Just depends on what I'm photographing.
