Arts - you've got me into trouble

All this talk about cameras made me order the Canon G12 for myself

If a 3.2 megapixel thing is what you're after, then it's yours!

I've had a couple of the Panasonic TZ series and they are excellent all-rounders. Reasonably small but solid enough to feel like a decent bit of kit when you use them. Excellent photos and great video as well. Reviews often comment on them being the ideal travelling/holiday camera. I've always done fine with it at gigs etc as well.

They keep updating them but the older TZ8 (which was pretty new when I got one!) can be bought for £169 from Amazon. A bit more than your budget but worth it.

TS seriesare v good, it is a lot to do with the Leica lens. If you shop around you can pick these up pretty much on budget if you go for a previous model.

I noticed today that Currys have the Lumix DMC-FS10 reduced from £199 to £79 this is very tempting but don't know if it is as good as the other Lumix ones

That looks great, but may be a LITTLE over my price range

It appears that me questioning the validity of taking too many photographs at events thread last night has made my Canon Ixus commit suicide.

So looking for a new one around £100, any ideas of decent ones that are also good for videos as well, it seems a bit of a minefield TBH

Spend about £190 (look online) on a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX5V.It has everything you would ever want from a camera

Simple shoot mode
Manual mode
HD Movie mode
Single shot
10 shots in a second (sports mode)
Panoramic vision mode (180 degree sweep shot)
Anti motion blur
Plus thoosands of other features

Believe me when I tell you, it is truly superb!

I could hide it in my sausage.

Okay TTF, will take a look around at some reviews, it is ia little like a boxer dog though, cute but ugly

If you can hide that in your sausage then i suggest you may be in the wrong job. Admittedly i don't know what your actual job is though

It doesn't involve sausages unfortunately. In all seriousness the wife was asking me the other day about buying a camera - in the price range that you are looking at Baz so I may follow suit on that Panasonic or Canon as, truth be told, I'm clueless with these things. How much is that Canon G12 thingymajib?

Lots! My Current Canon was ok but i have to say the Zoom struggled and shutter speed was a bit of a munter. The Lumix, the one JS uses for example seems a bit of a cracker

I got the D3 and that is the dogs! All about the lenses though. If you have a great camera and put a shit lens on, its like putting 50 quid wheels on a ferriere.

I take it we are talking £1000's here on this one? looks like a beast
