I am considering purchasing either a canon s3 is or a panasomic lumixFZ7 for a smaller camera when the digital rebel is too big to carry around. I can get the canon for $345 on amazon.com, and the panasonic for $309 there also. These are the lowest prices I can find from anyone that I would trust online. But are there any regular brick and mortar stores that will match these prices, like Wolf or Circuit city?
plus if anyone has any experience with both these cameras, which would be a better carry around camera? The panasonic is smaller, so I am leaning that way.
Thanks,
Julie
