Hi guys. I'm looking at getting a 10x optical digital camera, and I've spec'd out 2, the Panasonic DMC TZ3EB (£189, compact, 10x optical, 4x digital, 7.1mp), and the Fujifilm S5800 (£129, not so compact, 10x optical, 4x digital, 8mp).
I like the look of the Fuji, but it's a bit bigger than I would like, and certainly won't fit into the better halfs handbag, but the bigger size would help with stability at high zoom levels. The Panasonic is small enough for pockets, handbags, but I'm not sure on the stability aspect.
It's important, as we're off to the Barcelona GP this weekend (
) as a 40th birthday present from the other half, and my aging Canon powershot A330 just won't cut it.
Online shopping isn't an option, as we are leaving tomorrow, so I'd really appreciate some advice on these two camera's, and also on other options that I haven't considered.
Thanks in advance, guys.

. I saw it for £129.99 in Argos then I went in Tesco and it was £109. So I bought it a £20 saving sounded great. 
All I've managed to do is cut the grass in the 2 hours it wasn't raining last night
