Which camera to buy?

[youdunsay]

I am looking for a camera ranging $200++ to $300++ but the plethora of camera brands really confused me. Some of my friends recommended me Panasonic Lumix while my cyberfriends here preferred Canon. Which camera would you recommend? (*I don't mind cashing out a little more for a better camera).

I guess the best way to go about it is to read some reviews. You can find tons of them here: www.cnetasia.com then decide what you want.
For your budget i guess you should be able to get a decent 7 Mega Pixel compact Digital Camera.

Canon has a good lens which could be a reason to choose against Panasonic.

Thanks for the web recommendation.

I did some field study and the store owner quoted me $320 for Panasonic DMC FX10. Does anyone know if it's worth it? How much should I bargain? I have quite a liking for Panasonic DMC FX series but I don't know which one is worth the best.
