Two camera same brand. The ZS3 (TZ7 in UK) or the ZR1 (ZX1 in UK) from Panasonic.































I have had a budget Kodak C713 camera forever and I now want a proper digital camera. My problem with my current camera is terrible low light show, little zoom, not really pocket able and very average picture quality. And I now want to use a camera to take short video clips.































I have narrowed down on the Panasonic models, but cannot decide whether the feature on the higher end TZ7 is worth the price.































Does the TZ7's stereo mic really trump the ZX1's mono mic?































I want pocketable, so should I go for the ZX1. Or is the difference is negligible?































12mp + 8x or 10mp + 12x?































Power OIS or Mega OIS?































AVCHD or regular HD?































Would really appreciate some help in choosing between the two.































Thanks
