Question Panasonic Lumix cameras

What is everyones opinion of Panasonic's cameras? I have been going crazy the last few weeks looking for a new camera. I narrowed it down between the Sony DSC H5 and the Canon S3 IS. Now I just came across the Panasonic Lumix DMC Fz7 and it seems like a pretty good choice also, although I have no experience with the brand. I kind of like the look of this camera compared to the other 2.

So, how good or bad are Panasonic cameras?

I don't like Panasonic cameras, never have. I have always purchased Sony's until my last two purchases. A Digital Rebel and the A710IS. I think Canon makes better optics and all around camera now.

Go to amazon.com and look at the camera's you're looking to buy, read the reviews. Also look at

The Canon, just by the name has IS, you want this is a camera. Looks like the Sony has it as well.

Good Luck

All 3 have IS. I have had 2 Sony p&s's and they were average. I was going to get the Canon, but there were a few things about it I didnt like. The Sony is the most expensive. All the reviews I have read claim all 3 are so close, that it all comes down to preference.
