Answer #1
I checked this field before for a friend, the SX30, SX 40, Panasonic FZ150, and others.
The Panasonic Lumix FZ 150 won hands down. Better image quality, better handling, better software structure (menus and accessibility).
All it loses out on is zoom, x26 to x30 for the Canon. But, and it’s a big butt – the image quality is so good and the SX30/40 relatively bad by comparison that the lower zoom matter nothing at all.
the 150 also does 5.5 fps with full autofocus/metering or 12 with first focus (like for birds landing, etc).
