Which digital camera is better: canon powershot sd700 or panasonic lumix dmc-fx9?

I have set up a side by side comparison of the two cameras you specified. That way, you can see which camera is better for your specific needs. Only you know what you need it for and what features would be best for you:

Cannon powershot SD 700 is better camera!

I'd go with the Canon, but watch out- some of their lens mechanisms have a tendacy of being fragile :)

The best is what your pocket can afford.
