Related to Best Buy comparison specification of HDC tm55K and tm60k, It looks that tm60k is much waster than 55k.The deal is not good.

The best buy website which advertises the Panasonic HDC TM60 is incorrect. I took the deal but was very upset I didn't get my TM55k. Yesterday, I received the TM60 and according to the manual, it is exactly the same as the TM55k except that the TM60 has 16 GB built in memory and the TM55k has 8 GB.We did well..

I got the same call from Panasonic. I think it is a good deal after going through following specs.http://panasonic.net/avc/camcorder/hd/hs60_tm60_sd60/specifications.html

The 7500 has a camera, has Smart features (I.e. using hand as a mouse), better micro dimming (greater contrast between lights and darks) and a higher cmr. I'm not exactly sure what cmr is (nor any of the other measurements other brands use) but from what I observed the 7500 picture seems to be more vibrant and motion is more fluid. Hope that helped

I joined Club Panasonic when I purchased one of my Panasonic cameras. I got an e-mail from them yesterday offering the DMC-G2K Body Only for $350. They had 3 other options: a G2K with an H_FS014045 14-45 lens for $600 and a G2K with either the 20mm or 14mm "pancake' lens for $650. This offer was directly from Panasonic for Club Panasonic users.

Where are Panasonics made? I don't see the same price jump with them. I am considering the LX5

I am torn between these exact same two camcorders also. Looking forward to your follow-up post!

I just checked out their website and they have most of the latest releases, as well as 3 different quality formats, SD, HD and HDX which is better than regular HD. Their prices are the same as Amazon and CinemaNow, not sure why you think their prices are so bad? Panasonic has Amazon VOD in case you're interested.

The SX30 IS has been replaced by the SX 40 HS and I believe the FZ100 has been replaced by the FZ150. Both addressed problems with the previous models There is very little out about the Canaon yet, but the emerging consensus regarding the two is that the Canon has better image quality (very good quality for this kind of camera). The Panasonic's images while very good, do not match the Canon's and it doesn't have as much zoom (the Canon's and Nikon's zoom range is essentially the same), but it offers more features, including RAW, and significantly better LCD. Both have an articulating display far superior in operation to the Nikon. The SX30 IS has been replaced by the SX 40 HS and I believe the FZ100 has been replaced by the FZ150.

Late to respond, but my previous camera was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ18, a point and shoot camera which I thought took outstanding pictures...until I bought the DMC-FZ150. Holy cow! What a jump in performance that even an unsavvy enthusiast like myself can actually use. I am, however, shocked by the price increase. I had to buy it online because it wasn't available locally but with the reviews and my past experience with Panasonic, I took a deep breath and did it, purchasing it through Amazon for $439 in early April 2012. I consider it top echelon of the "amateur" use cameras.

I purchased both these cameras at the same time, the sony at my local best buy and a panasonic on amazon. They are pretty close to the same, the sony has a little more true color indoors but the panasonic has more vibrant colors outdoor. The sony looks a little more washed out outside. I was impressed with both cameras low light recording. The image stabilizer worked a little better on the sony I thought, the problem I have with the panasonic is that it almost tries to overcorrect the shake. It seemed any time I used the touch screen while recording (ie...zooming) I notice a slight jump in the picture. I think with a little practice I can eliminate this by how hard I tap the screen, but it's touchy. I didn't seem to have that problem with the sony. The panasonic gets a little warm in your hand, but considering I use it in a hockey arena it doubles as a hand warmer! The panasonic comes with a video light and a hotshoe and u have more manual settings. The software that comes with both is crap, plan on buying third party editing software no matter wich way u go. Is the difference worth the $70 more I paid for the sony? probably not, I can buy an extra battery and SD card for the pan. If you could find them for about the same price though, I would go for the sony.

These two cameras are both good at what they do but are different in the needs they are designed to address. Your needs (atleast mine) would direct me towards one or the other. You say absolutely nothing about your needs or intended uses so there little else I could add. The zoom range, video resulotion, flexibility, and size differetiate the two. The S95 has a marginal image quality and low light advantage at the expense of lower video resolution and a much shorter telephoto.

I did some research on this a couple of years ago and as I recall there is a different model for HD. I do not have the HD camera so did not need the HD version. The HD version was a bit higher in price.

I have searched online for the same comparison b4 i bought both of the two. The thing is, because these two cameras have a lot of features, it takes a while to write or make a video to fully compare the two cameras. I did find some that tried to compare the two camers, but the reviews seemed bias to me. Overall, i like the Fuji over the Canon, but i like the Canons zoom over fuji's. One can still get the same results as the other.

http://reviews.bestbuy.com/answers/3545/product/2433169/panasonic-lumix-fh25-16-1-megapixel-digital-camera-blue-questions-answers/questions.htmAccording to Panasonic Answers, on the bb forum, the camera is identical with the main difference being the A/V cable and which retailer carries the product. Amazon often compares prices with other retailers, so the FH25k might be cheaper due to a competitor that carries the FH25K and fewer competitors carry the FH24K. Note that Amazon ran the 24K as a gold box item earlier at $99.99.

Hi, in this link you can see a comparison of both models:http://www.samsung.com/ve/consumer/cameras-camcorders/smart-cameras/productcompare?prda=EC-DV150FBPWPA&prdb;=EC-DV300FBPRPABasically have the same features, the only difference I see is the physical design

I have used both the Miele and the Panasonic. I actually own a Panasonic. I could not see much difference between the Miele and the Panasonic as far as how well they cleaned. They look very similar. Perhaps the Miele is heavier than the Panasonic. For the difference in price, I would buy the Panasonic. I really like the one I have.

It says X550 on the camera. There may be a difference in megapixels, this one has 16, the others have between 14 and 16. The more megapixels, the higher quality the picture. I've had a black version of this camera as well and this one is basically the same, possibly a little nicer basically because of the purple color to the camera. Hope this helps.

Check out the links below for reviews on both. you can compare the sample photos side by side. also the Sony high iso looks better. personally I think that the Sony has warmer more vibrant color although the night shot looks better on the Canon. I just ordered the Sony so we shall see. I also like the looks of the Sony better. well, good luck in your search. http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_w55-review/index.shtml http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd1000-review/index.shtml
