Hi,
About a year ago I bought a Panasonic Lumix FS15 camera which I'm pretty happy with. I'm now looking to buy something similar as present for my father. I've had a quick look and found the FS10 and FS11, which look to be more or less the same as my FS15...

As I'm not entirely sure what I should be comparing, am I correct in thinking that the image quality I get with the FS10 or FS11 will be comparable to my FS15?
As far as I can tell, the FS10 and FS11 have the same components, the only difference being the 12MP and 14MP image resolution. If this is the case, I would go for the FS10 as I assume the image quality would be the same, and the extra resolution wouldn't really be noticeable. Does this make sense?!
I have also included the FS16 in the comparison above. At £150, it's quite a bit more than the FS10 (£90), so, unless there's very good reason, I wouldn't seriously consider it.
My sister recently bought a Canon Ixus 105, which, I think, is about the same kind of price as the FS11 (£100). To me, image quality looked no better than my FS15. However, I'm probably not the best judge. Should I consider this camera instead?
Just to complicate things further... with a budget of about £100, should I be looking elsewhere?
Thanks!
