@TheBigFatJ : Panasonic doesn't make lenses, they use Leica lenses, just as Sony uses Carl Zeiss lenses....
Now show me a 150" HDTV from Samsung, since they make stuff before anyone else... Panasonic has one. Or show me an infinite contrast screen like the new KURO prototype from Pioneer... Samsung makes good LCD screens, but they have high failure rates and they sell many low quality AU Optronics screens under the same references as the Samsung screens. Sounds too random for me.
Now for cameras, as I said Canon rules the reflex market, and professionnals only use reflex cameras. But for the average guy, the Panasonic TZ3, the FZ8, the FX100, the FZ18, the FZ50, the FX55 are the best choices with the Canon IXUS cameras.
Anyway, think what you want, I don't want to go more off-topic.
