I bought a new camera a fortnight ago. I'd checked out some of the semi-pro review websites and have to say the Panasonic Lumix was definitley getting the best name.
But when I went to Argos they were out of stock and I ended up getting a Samsung NV15. It is 10 megapixels, has face recognition, anti-shake and, most importantly it does some pretty fast, continuous shooting in sports mode which I hope will be good for speeding cockers!
So far I'm pretty happy with my purchase. It was reduced from £140 to £86 so I reckon a pretty reasonable buy.
