I have owned the TZ20 and this camera and my experience might be useful.
This camera gives better, clearer images in every situation than the Panasonic PARTICULARLY IN LOW LIGHT where the Panasonic is shockingly bad. The difference is extremely clear cut.
If IMAGE QUALITY is your priority - buy this camera (I did). Forget the megapixel count - to get the 14MP number, Panasonic has thrown image quality out of the window.
There are a few niggles with this camera - the flash seems to pop up all the time when you don't want it, the lens isn't as wide - 28mm against 24mm which makes a much bigger difference than you might realise and I rarely use the GPS on the Canon - it kills the battery (the GPS facility on the Panasonic is awesomely good and much more power efficient).
This camera was a purchase for me simply and singly because of the Image Quality issue - it feels a little old hat in terms of bells-and-whistles/gimmicks compared to the Panasonic but what is a camera for?
However the camera delivers excellent quality images and is great for travelling and use as a compact. In conclusion - this is a great compact - but no substitute for a DSLR. So I have given 5*s as a compact rating.
From the negative point of view, that's about it.
Zoom is incredible and gives excellent results. The many modes available help to produce great photographs. It isn't SLR quality but the picture quality is massivly impressive. I bought the camera just in time for a 2 week vacation and had little time to practice with it, but I have returned with lots of great photos and only struggled to get it to behave in a couple of challenging situations. The pop-up flash can catch you out sometimes - it will flash when you were wanting no flash, but it is much easier to just push the flash down to prevent flash assistance than it is to go into camera settings if the flash were not pop up.
So should you go for this, or the more feature rich competition? Well the features on this camera will keep you learning for some time, so why do you need more? And as for more megapixels - this camera produces good results because the lens is top notch - more MP doesn't automatically mean better quality pics!
