LOL! Oh, and DO take note of this: "Compact Camera Group Test: SLR-like 'super zoom' cameras" I don't see "P&S" used anywhere in that heading, do you? LOL!

They put live view, and video on dSLR cameras so P&S who are arfraid to look through the optical viewfinder would use them.

With its excellent viewfinder and well designed control layout the Canon is arguably more of a 'photographer's camera' while the Panasonic is ideal if you need bags of zoom in a small package. Which one is better for you depends entirely on your requirements but in any case you can't go wrong with either of these cameras. I guess this must really bug you.
