What people say	Panasonic FZ7 vs. Canon S2 IS [Archive] Brands in mind: I think I have it narrowed down to the Canon S2 IS or the Panasonic FZ7.... The Canon's flash performance was obviously better (but I assume the FZ7 would outperform the LZ5 also, based on the size of the flash).... dcresource.com Panasonic FZ7 vs. Canon S2 IS The Canon's flash performance was obviously better (but I assume the FZ7 would outperform the LZ5 also, based on the size of the flash).... S2 is had alot of focus erroras indoors on the longer end of zoom when I tried it.... dcresource.com External Flash for FZ7 vs Canon S2 IS [Archive] Neither of the cameras I'm looking at (the FZ7 and the S2) have external flash ability, which means that if I wanted to use an external flash with either of them, I'd need a slave unit.... If a flash is not your main concern as I guess are not movies either The FZ5 and 7 have it all over a S2 IS.... dcresource.com Add to: Digg del.icio.us Reddit Google
