Canon Ixus 85 or Panasonic Lumix FS7?

Time to replace my Canon Ixus 40 which has given several years or use and good pictures despite only 4megapixels - a good lens no doubt.

I have circa £150 to spend and come up with the Canon Ixus 85 and Panasonic Lumix FS7 as possibles. Has anyone experience of using these camaras in the real world and would you recommend them? Any alternatives I should look at?

The camera will mainly used for landscapes, general holiday shots and performers at music festivals etc. I'd like a compact camera with a longer zoom but not if it means sacrificing picture quality. The Panasonic TZ5 could be added but reviews state the image isn't as good as others - any comment on this?

Thanks
