Lumix DMC-FZ60 vs NIKON Coolpix P510
 

Hello,
Newbie here.
I have signed up for a digital photo class.
I have narrowed my choices down to Lumix DMC-FZ60 vs NIKON Coolpix P510.
I just want the best for my money ($350.00 US).
Any opinions on the way I should go? They both seem to have strong points.
If there was one feature I should base my choice on , what would it be.

Or should I see if I can afford the FZ200?
