Panasonic&#8217;s controls don&#8217;t seem as intuitive or simple as the Canon IS. However, that might be because I have used a lot of Canon digital cameras over the years and this is the first Panasonic I&#8217;ve tried. However, there is a lot to like about a camera with 10x optical zoom that is so much smaller than the Canon IS series and with a larger 3 inch bright LCD. It&#8217;s also nice not to have to deal with a manual lens cap (what a hassle). More on this camera later&#8230; I&#8217;m also going to be playing with a  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000HATNH4?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=totechcom&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B000HATNH4\">Canon PowerShot A710 IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" style=\"border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=totechcom&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000HATNH4\" \/> in the next week or so. It came out last Fall and was, I believe, the first of the Canon A series cameras to have optical stablization. Its price has started to drop. So, I&#8217;m guessing it will be replaced by a higher resolution version within the next few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is quite amazing how much the digital camera landscape (pun intended) has changed in just a few years.
