I have no experience with the Lumix so I can't help you there except to point to what might be The. Best. Review. Site. Ever.

I wish a bicycle, car, computer etc review site as good as theirs existed.
In general I agree with you that I'd rather go for better optics than a couple more megapixels. I've always gone canon and I like this one for optics+megapixels for your dollar: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_a720is.asp
Good luck. To bring this to back on topic, doesn't digikam totally rawk?

PS Part of my reason for replying is that I'm hoping that Santa Clause is listening.

Subject: [OT] Digital camara
Hi all, sorry for the OT, but as many people here have more knowledge
then me on this topic I'll just ask.
I'm about to by a digital camara and I was looking at a Panasonic Lumix
with 5MP and 6x optical zoom.
I tend to see the 6x zoom more interesting then having 7 or more MP, but
I'd like to know if I should go for more MP or stay with the good zoom.
Once againg, sorry for the OT.
