Which One of these Bridge Cameras Would You Take or You Think is the BEST?

Disclaimer: I'm a very happy SX40 owner. So I trust Canon more than a brand I have no experience with.

I won't ever buy another camera without an articulated LCD. If you've never used one, you might not know what you're missing. But that would completely rule out the Nikon, for me. The Nikon also doesn't shoot RAW, or higher ISO.

The Panasonic doesn't have enough zoom for me. Again, if you don't know what you're missing, you might be happy with it.
