Kodak or Panasonic

I'm looking at either this Kodak:

or

this Panasonic

I want a good camera that I can rely on. Kodak is looking good but it's kind of on the bulky side. Does anyone have either of these cameras or can someone tell me which would be better? I'm looking to use it for everyday pictures, action shots, fireworks, movies.

Well, I know 2 people who have a newer Kodak, one has the Z740 and the other has some Easy Share camera. They both suck! lol

I have the Panasonic Lumix LZ2 which is actually a very cheap camera but it takes beautiful pics. It does not take good pics indoors at a distance outside the flash or outdoor pics after dusk. There is alot of noise in them. Other than that, the pics are great and I would recommend this camera. So basically I know nothing about these 2 particular models but from experience with the other ones in the same line, I'd go with the Panasonic!

You are right it does horrible with indoor and nighttime photos, but for the $140 it cost we are pretty satisfied.

I have a Z740 and I don't think it sucks at all!! The zoom is great!! I have taken so shots from a good distance away, and it looks like I was right next to it. It does eat batteries!! BAD!!! That would have to be my biggest complaint! Here are a few with the Z740!

Good Luck!!

We're leaning more towards the Kodak because we've had good luck with them. I love the pictures that it has shown.
