Ken -
Yep, bang for the buck is pretty impressive! I'd take CCI reviews with a grain of salt - reading the comments on the 520 review you realize they really ignored the low lux for bizarre reasons... and I think you have to use the OIS in "real world", not lab conditions to appreciate it.

I'd still like to play a bit with the HF-S out of curiousity, and the TM300 looks interesting, but I can't say I've found anything I really dislike about the Sony, it delivers where it counts.
