S2 or FZ20

A simple question (and please don't try to read read between the lines or
read more into it).
Take away the bells and whistles and using the cameras best settings, what
one takes the best photo at extreme telephoto the Canon S2 or the Panasonic
FZ20?

From my own results with the FZ20, and what I have seen published from the
S2 IS, probably the FZ20, but it's close and they are both pretty good, so
it may be other things which determine your final choice.

Hello,

I would be interested to find out what the camera ISO and quality settings
were used for the
photos. I am very impressed as I have been waiting for someone to post
examples from S2. Thanks for doing that for us.

Kind regards,

Boydie

Well, both are good. Each have slight flaws. The S2 exhibits a bit
of fringing at the extreme end of the zoom, but details are very good,
and noise is low (ISO 50). The FZ20 does a nice job on the fringing
(hardly any), but pics are a bit soft and grainy. Both are fixed
fairly easily by software.

DPReview and DCResource have galleries up for both cameras to see for
yourself.

Can you look at the EXIF data to determine the settings?
