what are peoples thoughts on panasonis Lumix F53 digital camera versus Sony powershot DSCS750?
I have been shopping for a digital camera and really have no knowledge about cameras. I bought the Panasonic as my first digital camera and was told it was great for the price compared to others. I guess. I wanted to spend under $150, but get something descent. Did I make a good decision? Or would the Sony powershot DSCS750 have been a better camera. The whole digital camera thing is very foreign to me. Please I could use some good advice.

Yes you made a good choice, the Panasonic has a better LCD and a bit higher resolution as well as a choice in movie clip size. If I had to pick between the two I would have pick the Panasonic as well. My next pick would have been for the TZ5 with a 10x zoom, but that’s just me.

i suggest you on Sony Cybershot DSCW120
7.2-megapixel Super HAD CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 14 x 19-inch prints
Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens; Dynamic Range Optimization
Face Detection; Smart Zoom feature
HDTV compatibility; HD slide show with music
15 MB internal memory; capture images to Memory Stick Duo/Pro Duo media
The 7.2-Megapixel Cyber-shot(R) W120 features innovative Smile Shutter technology, which photographs smiles as they happen. A Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens provides high quality close-ups, while Sony’s Double Anti-Blur solution gives you crisp, clear images. The advanced Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures the focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 2.5″ TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight. Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot. Super SteadyShot(R) Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens. Aperture Range – Auto (F2.8-F14 with ND Filter) / Program Auto (F2.8-F14 with ND Filter) Shutter Speed – Auto (1/4 – 1/1,600) / Program Auto (1 – 1/1,600) Flash Modes – Auto, Forced On, Forced Off, and Slow Synch Movie Modes – MPEG VX Fine with Audio (640×480 at 30fps), MPEG VX Standard with Audio (640×480 at 16fps), Presentation (320 x 240 at 8fps) Scene Modes – Auto, Easy Shooting, Program Auto, Movie, High Sensitivity, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, and Smile Shutter Operating System – Microsoft 2000 Professional, Me, XP Home and Professional, Macintosh OS 9.1, 9.2, OS X (10.0-10.4)

you made the right choice here between these two. Better image quality overall and you are not bound to Sony’s proprietary storage cards, called memory stick… NO other camera maker or device that uses flash memory uses memory stick but Sony. With panasonic’s choice to use the standard SD card…you are free to take the card and put it in just about any pc, tv, and personal media devices. Enjoy your panny!
