And if you wanna get into serious photography but don't have the money to dish out for a DSLR, definitely get a Cannon Powershot (the most expensive within your budget). It has a Manual mode which allows you to adjust aperture and shutter-speed priority (the Lumix is fully automatic, which really pisses me off).
A
hack also exists, which unlocks tons of super cool features. For example, it allows you to shoot in RAW which, believe me, will reduce the risk of you having a stroke* (the Lumix only shoots in JPEG, which compresses the shit out of any photo, and results in me wishing the camera was alive so I can murder it). Also, it allows for motion-triggered shooting. Pretty neat I'd say.
