Great thread. About to go out and buy one of the Panasonic GS cameras (difference between GS19 and GS35 seems to be the zoom). Or the 3CCD GS65.

There was one comment on how the bottom-priced Panasonic 3CCD cameras are basically crap. Any specific comments on the GS65?

Other recommendations? Looking, as the OP was, to spend < $700, and don't need/want still picture capture.
