Smile Looking for digital camera

I 'm currently looking for a compact digital camera with the following functions,
- 5.0 megapixels
- can take gd quality pictures even at night
- > 3x optical zoom
- Not > $600
- 2.5" LCD screen

Thinking of getting the new LZ3/5 or TZ1 but not too sure if panasonic camera's are gd... Any other recommendations?

Thks in advance...

Can take a look at Fuji S series. Good night shot.

to take good pictures at night,don't look for panasonic,their noise still pretty terrible.
can try F10 or F11 for cleaner and higher ISO performance.
sorry but their recent batches of F10 and F11 have vertical banding problem.
test it out to be sure.

Get the FujiFilm Finepix F11. Lower than S$600, yet better specs than what you're asking for.

looking for low noise night shot -> forget about panasonic
looking for high optical zoom -> panasonic is a good choice

you can't have the best of both world. something got to give.
