Panasonic Digital Cameras

Does anyone have any experience with these cameras. I had a Canon sd550 but was not sold on it so looking for something else. I am interested in any experience with the Panasonic MEGA stabalisation system.

The Panny typically has great lense and the IS system is probably the best in the industry.

However, their sensor is usually very noisy and the manual is not that great.

Usually at higher ISO's.. ISO 400..
my Panny FZ20 doesn't excel very well in low light conditions.. but I'm sure that is the case with alot of P&S cameras these days..

What is the IS?

Isn't the whole purpose of the MEGA thing for low light and at night?
