Comparing Canon SX1 and Panasonic FZ28- what should I get?

[ttan98]

I put on the following post below at the Panasonic forum here. I would like an alternative opinion among Canon Sx1 users. Your input is welcomed.

I am in the process of buying an ultra zoom, I found through reading a no of sites that these 2 cameras are the 2 top contenders. I understand the SX1 is more expensive but it has some useful features over the FZ28.

Any further inputs from readers are welcome here to help me decide.

Uses for this camera: taking pictures on holidays and indoor photos.

Skill level: Beginner

Perference: Taking sharp and beautiful pictures, via manual etc, I have Canon 590 which gives me excellent photos, now I need an ultrazoom(I don't like changing lenses hence no DSLR).

Cheers.
