New camera

I am planing this for last 6 months, and I want to hear everyone's opinion on this.
I am about to buy a new camera and this are my current specifications that I need:

10 or 12mp sensor
at least 15x zoom
HD video (720p)
RAW images
O.I S. (Optical Image Stabilization)
and Macro focus <5cm

Other than that, it should be light (like up to 0.5kg) and to have SD slot. These are optional, but not necessary.

Please, if anyone knows a good camera that can fit in to these specifications please do tell. The current camera that I have sights on is Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35/38, and the curent camera that I currently own is Canon PowerShot A560. Please share all your opinions bad or good with me because they might determine witch camera I am gonna buy.

P.S. Forgot to add smtn to the whole camera mess, this has to be all up to 350 euros. This may vary from country to country so if I buy this camera from Amazon the transport is going to be a part of the price, so don't bother xD lol

EDIT: Even if you don't know any good cameras, please make an suggestion, like what would you like to buy.

Thanks again ;) Cheers

Hey thanks for advice, but I don't have that much money xD.

Its 595e and the max I can collect is 350e. Almost the double.
Thanks, I will consider waiting for this camera. But I don't think I can, I have waited already too long.

P.S. If I can just find cheaper camera than FZ38 but with more features. :P

Thank you Obvious for helping me with my choice, but I did as already said, since EOS 500D and 550D are too expensive I turned my way to FZ35/38 and I was lucky that guy was buying 35 that day and I got 35. Only difference is that in 35 there is no limit on HD video recording.

Thanks a lot for advice :)
Cheers
