Panasonic TZ3 定 Ricoh R6 好d???

Friend,
追星用... , you need ZOOM !!!! or GOOD TELEPHOTO :)
so TZ3 with the leica Lens to 280mm is definitely a winner from the
specification.
I will first analyze them for you with specifications :
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3

7.1 million effective pixels
8.5 million sensor photo detectors
28 mm - 280 mm (10x) zoom lens

Ricoh Caplio R6

7.1 million effective pixels
7.4 million sensor photo detectors
28 mm - 200 mm (7.1x) zoom lens

I will pick TZ3 : and if you like ZOOM more, Tz3 is the pick, since its telephoto go all the way to 280mm, so you can zoom birds and building or YOUR SUPERSTAR'S FACE .... ZOOM !!! ...
I will pick R6 : if you don't have specific preferrence for EXTRA ZOOM , you just want a standard camera your whole family enjoy that give you some good quality pictures. R6 is a all-rounder camera.
I hope my analysis can narrow down your choice... and I don't put price into the consideration. Because I care about quality of result , that was the photos :)
good luck and hope all help.
