Z812IS or Pana. FZ8?

Seems like Kodak doesn't get as much respect as some of the other camera manufacturers. This seems to be what is making my search for a comparison between these cameras difficult. I currently have a FZ8, but am not real happy with it primarily because of it's "feel". I played with a Kodak Z812IS today at a local store, and like the feel of it much more. If you can convince me that it is every bit as good a camera s the Panny, I'll get it.

So....what will I lose if I dump the FZ8 in favor of the Z812IS? I know that I'm in the Kodak Forum, but trust you folks can give me a honest answer. By the way, I do have a Canon DSLR outfit, but want a single, longer zoomed, camera for when the entire bag of DSLR stuff is not appropriate.
Thanks
