Posted by HOST on 7/18/2007, 10:11 am, in reply to "Panasonic, or Canon?" The Canon A-series generally handle this better, but overall, most point-and-shoot models are going to have some level of red eye issues due to the fact the flash is so close to the lens. There are various software programs that will help you fix red eye without much effort on your part (with limited success). One free editor is Picasa from Goodle, which can be downloaded at: http://picasa.google.com/features/features-edit.html . Kodak also has their "Easyshare" software which has a redeye reducing feature and it too, is free. You do not need to have a Kodak camera - it works with any jpg image file from any model, but you will need DSL or Cable to download it as it's a large file, here: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/downloads/dln_ekn026079.jhtml?pq-path=4509 So, between the two you list, I would pick the Canon and then use one (or both) of the editors above for any red eye issues you have.

Panasonic cameras are capable of taking very nice shots, but yes, low light performance is usually not great. Their sensors tend to show a lot of "noise" (grain) in low light or when used at higher iso speeds (similar to film speeds).
