I am planning to buy one of these two cameras and having a hard time deciding between them. They are very similar. I simply want nice photos to e-mail or print 4×6. I take a lot of shots in lower light conditions because my husband plays in a band. I also need good quality video and sound.
Thanks!

The Panasonic is much sturdier than the Canon. My Panasonic was accidentally dropped (not by me) and fortunately it is still working. Like any camera, one should get used to reading the manual – in the end it will save you some headaches. Panasonic has a better lens (Leica).
In my research, there are more Canon fatality than Panasonic.
Panasonic shoots at 30 fps vs Canon’s 20 fps (30 is better).
Unfortunately, they do poorly in low light. You can increase the ISO for a better photo. Sounds, well they are both in the inexpensive side so, you get what you pay for. Panasonic though has better video.
i have a lumix, and while i love it, the canons i have owned over the years have been friendlier to use and maintain. the lumix has a lot of user adjustable settings that if you dont know what youre doing you will end up with crappy photos. the canons are pretty much point and shoot.
rule of thumb. figure out how much you want to spend and find the canon camera that fits into your budget
