I can't believe no one has responded to your pictures! I just purchased a TG2 and am very pleased with the results I'm getting from it. I use it mainly for family quick grab shots of family members but after seeing these photographs I will have to reconsider how much and for what I use it for, nice shots.

Not bad, but Panasonic FT4/TS4 & FT5/TS5 can do this even better:

I still believe the TG-2 is better... with backlit iHS sensor, f2.0, posibility of putting on lenses and filters,  iso from 100-6400, preset whitebalances or manual whitebalance.. and a lot more..

Don't tell me panasonic ft4 is better than tg-2.. just see the compare photos in this:

I don't see a way to look at the 'compare' photos at 100 percent, or any other magnification, other than just the image size that is showing.  How do I do that??  Thanks

Unless you shoot an identical scene with both cameras, there's no way to compare them.  Your macro, while it looks nice, deals with a totally different lighting than the TG-2's macro.  Catchlights always make a shot look sharper.
