HI,

I am looking for a Telezoom camera and wide angle 28mm. Both camera fits with this requirements, but in which one do you recomended me? Now I have a Pan FZ30, with a good zoom but no 28mm

I think the general consensus between those two is that the Fuji will produce sharper images but on the other hand it doesn't have the telephoto reach of the 550.

Many thx, for you answer. It is al help form me. It is too difficult to choose a camera ;-)

I had the S9100 and think it's a good camera. However, if you have the FZ30 and like it, you may want to wait a month or two and buy the FZ18.

Why don't you just purchase the DMW-LW55 wide converter for your FZ30 and go even wider...down to 24mm? I use one with my FZ50 and it works very well..

I have some doubts that any 15x-18x superzoom will equal the IQ of the current crop of 10x-12x camera. The Sony H7/H9 and the Olympus SP550 cameras don't.
