I'm looking at the Lumix TZ6

Cheers Dutch.

TZ6 has the VENUS IV sensor not the 1/2.33" CCD as on TZ7. I'd spend ~50E extra for the super low light performing CCD sensor. You also get 1280 HD movie then.
Then have a read through (also compares TZ6 and TZ7). Bear in mind TZ range is named differently in US, namely Z1 = TZ6 , Z3 = TZ7: http://www.dpreview....9grouplongzoom/
SONY H20 scores best across the board, also has HD1280 vid, and is priced even cheaper then TZ6/ TZ7 ...
Only drawback , IMHO looking at images, is a bit more bulcky compared to TZ, but that is minor, it is still v.compact. Also biggest drawback of the TZ-fam is comparibly poor Flash, which you will need , regardless of censor, with super zoom as above ISO 400 really becomes crap and with the zoom your aperture will be too low (read: high F nr.)).
Hope this helps. Cheers, Chris

Do read through the DPreview, downfall for H20 is non wide-angle lens, so less versatility compared to TZ6/7. Google for wide-angle to see what it does (e.g.: http://tips.romanzol.../article045.php).
Depends what you want to do.
TZ6 : - censor/flash capability, no HDvid + wide angle, cheap
TZ7: -most expensive, weaker flash then H20 + wide angle, HDvid, good censor
H20: - no wideangle + Censor/Flash capability for low light and HDvid, cheap
Up to you ;-)

Get the TZ6 - I got the TZ7 and it's very nice, TZ6 is th esame with slightly fewer bells and whistles.
Get a mem card though...

Stevie - I think they are all pretty much the same - the ZX1 looks a bit better than the TZ6 though and a bit cheaper than the TZ7.
Tbh for the type of photo's guys like you and I take any of the three would be fine - it's just down to price and portability and not losing the damn thing in some bar somewhere.
