While I am not sure this is the right forum for this but here goes.

I am debating a camera to take for photographing both the hobby as well as my other interests. Debating between a canon 1000d entry level DSLR and Panasonic FZ38 ultrazoom (18x optical zoom) point & shoot. The canon comes with a 18-55mm lens kit and I can take a better one when I have the money whereas the Panasonic comes with a non-replacable lens. They are both at the same price-point with the included lens only

Any thoughts on the same?
