I absolutely love my Pioneer Steez 808. A friend used them for a day and decided to purchase the Pioneer Steez too. Good sound. I have never tried the Sony Z300, but I am totally glad that I purchased the Pioneer Headphones.

I really like the Panasonic ZS30. I do not have the Fuji f900, although I've heard nice things about it. Google www.dpreview.com. I think they have professional reviews of both cameras. Might also try www.whatdigitalcamera.com. Another good place for professional reviews is www.cameralabs.com. If you go to www.whatdigitalcamera.com, it is a British magazine, and the ZS30 is known as the TZ40 in Europe - same camera. Both the Fuji and the Panasonic are highly rated. Another option to consider - Panasonic has announced that the ZS40 - next upgrade - will be coming out in March. It will have a 30X zoom, RAW shooting, and EVF, and several other new features. Might want to check that one out if you can wait a bit.

Greetings, I have both cameras, they are actually both GREAT! Some random thoughts: I like the ZS3 25mm wide views. The Sony's battery last longer. I like the SD card of the Pana. The Pana is thinner and a bit easier to carry. This is VERY subjective - the Sony video is slightly sharper. Small sound of the motor when zooming the pana video. Both cameras have tac sharp pictures. It's a hard one because both are so good.

Good question! Sony has made new versions that are cheaper and better cameras around the same price. Check out the A6000, and a5000.

I don't think there is a difference. Panasonic web site shows the ZS30 and ZS30K names on the same page.

The ZS20 is generally considered very inferior in image quality when compared to *anything else*. ZS15 would be better if you want a pocketable camera.

I bit the bullet and went with the Sony. Mainly because Circuit City was offering it for $329. Also because it had a better fps and ISO capabilities, if I remember correctly. The 4 gigs of memory set me back $59 though and the case was another $20, so that put me at $415 after tax. I must say that this thing takes awesome pics. I got it mainly for my kids sports. The 2.2 fps and sports mode are nice. The image stabilization seems to do a good job to on other pics. I have not used the remote control yet, but plan on usnig it to try and get some close ups of birds or squirrels, etc on a day when I have nothing else to do. I bit the bullet and went with the Sony.

Right, the DMC-ZS8. I'm still trying to find an answer to that question. Also, has anyone heard anything good about the DMC ZS9?

I have both but unfortunately the Z623 don't even come close to the Z2300's. The overall sound quality of he Z623 are inferior. I am not that happy with the Z623's.

Look up the model on Sony's website. But honestly, don't get this. The sound sucks and the unit dies in a month.

great choice. Bought one, have used sony's for years and think it is excellent. If you find one for under thirty bucks, let me know. I will buy a back up to my present unit.

1. The Z990 is the latest model. It uses the latest image sensor (BSI CMOS not CCD) which is supposed to be better in low light (hence, faster in regular light).2. Neither model can accept a filter.3. Not sure ... but I read it might be 30 minutes.4. The problem with ultra zooms (as you can see in professional sporting events) - is that you need a tripod when using it (or high shutter speed) to compensate. This is true for all cameras (even for traditional film cameras). I assume you will be shooting in daylight - but since the boat will be moving (at sea), you will have to use a wider aperture opening and faster shutter speed (or higher ISO). Either way, a tripod is the best way to go. 1. The Z990 is the latest model.

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.

I also purchased the FZ8 and returned it because of the noise (grainy photos). I went ahead and got the Sony DSC-H7 and like it much better. My only wish is that it would shoot in the RAW format (the FZ8 did!). Overall, we like the flash better, the speed better, the grip and position of the buttons and the H7 camera overall.

Yes! The support for a large number of audio formats was one of the reasons I picked the Z2. I have had it 2 years, and love it.

Check out reviews and sample photos/videos of the sx200, zs3 and tz5 at cameralabs online. The zs3 is worth the difference in price over the sx200 and tz5 due to better lens, image quality, video compression and the Venus HD processor built into it. The zs3 is also smaller, lighter and has longer battery life than the sx200 and tz5. Search youtube for "zs3" or "tz7" (as it is known in europe) and you'll find a lot of sample video showing what can be done with it. Oh, and search youtube for "tz7 night restaurant" for a very well done commercial quality video done on a tz7/zs3. The video capability of the zs3 is amazing.
