PopPhoto has new head-to-head shoot-out between the Kodak Easyshare V610 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 and they write - “Overall, because neither camera scored a knockout, our 
three-judge panel awarded a two-to-one split decision to the Panasonic over the Kodak. Its MEGA O.I.S., faster maximum aperture at both wide and tele, less lens distortion, and more secure handling make it the better choice. Despite scoring worse in noise, the Panasonic, at $100 less than its competitor, is a better value.”
