arrrrr bugger? no one knows?

You want to buy a Panasonic Lumix TZ7! It's what I have, takes amazing pics and it's gone down £100 since I bought mine!!

arrrh well my girly has a lumix and they are good, but i prefer the lens on the ixus as the macro is surprisingly good for a compact, just not sure which is better on the above versions

Looks to me like the 120 is just thinner and lighter, and other than a few other tiny differences (very slightly smaller min aperture, 1cm further focus distance, tiny bit smaller screen) they are pretty much identical. Might be just a case of "how it feels" in your hands that decides it for you.

They even have an identical RRP - so I'm not sure what Canon's plan is here... Maybe it really is just a differing style thing.
