Digital Camera Reccomendations

[letmetalktomark]

My ever reliable 3.2mp Olympus mji is starting to falter and so I should be in the market for a new camera soon.

Now I'll be honest I'm more point and shoot - I leave the SLR stuff to Mrs LMTTM

Criteria - Sub £200 possibley £250 if it would make a huge difference :?

Somebody recommended Ricoh but I have little to no idea

Help.

I paid £166 for a Canon digital Ixus 9 just before Christmas from Dixons.

Very nice camera for the cash

Panasonic Lumix range is great

2nd that.

I have the older DMC TZ3, it's very good (IMHO)

The newer TZ5 is very similar IIRC

Bought the wife a sony T700. P&S camera.

Nice big screen good size Mpixel and HD720p video.

You can pic them up for a aprox £250.
Didn't pay that myself as I'm staff.

Thirded.

I've got a DMC-TZ5 and it's easily the best camera I've had (better even than my old Dynax 800Si). Depending upon where you go it sells for anywhere from £160 to £230 depending upon the included accessories. It's got a 10x zoom, 3" LCD screen and image stabilization.

All the pics of stuff I put on here are taken with it.

Cool. Liking what I read about the dmc-tz5.

Absolute mystery this stuff!

Same here - paid good money for a Nikon Coolpix for the other half a couple of years back, my N82 takes better pics!

Got a Nikon D50 for proper pics, but can't see the point of carrying phone / camera / mp3 player when you can get one thing that does the lot.......
