I'm torn between 2 compact cameras.

I've had the Canon Ixus 40 in the past, and currently use an Ixus 70.

Needs:

Good low-light video and picture handling for club stuff.
General decent image quality.
Wide angle lens.


I've whittled it down to either a Canon SD880IS or a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48.

Canon Pros:
Established on here as a good club camera, pretty much guaranteed to meet my needs.

Panasonic Pros:
720p 16:9 video recording, Canon only does 640x480.
25mm wide angle compared to the Canon's 28mm.

Thing is, I have no idea on how the FX48 performs as an in-club camera, a 720p video of darkness with distorted bass is pretty pointless.

ARG!!

Originally posted by jvankampen20 I have been following Tiesto since 99. I was immediately enthralled by what I still regard the best electronic CD ever compiled, Magik VI Live in Amsterdam. This CD is loaded with uplifting, energetic, blood moving tracks intricately mixed with angelic perfection. From that moment on, I could feel the magik flowing through my veins while listening to the music that Tijs carefully samples and produces. His creativity allows him to develop the concepts of songs that bring life and energy to people around the world.

Don't fuck around, get the Canon 5D Mark II.

Nope, needs to be a sub-£200 compact

Doing a bit of research, it seems that people prefer the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 over the Canon. You can check more reviews, but neither of them seem to perform well in dark environments.

Well there is only so much any compact will manage in low light, but there was a big thread with the 880IS being touted as good for clubs.
