I need a new compact as I can't carry the SLR out on shoots as it's too big and bulky and this one is probably the one I will go for.

Do you mean an A720 or the PowerShot A570 IS ?

That is a lovely camera but a bit out of my 'present to myself' range!  I'm looking at the £150 mark so what is the best buy in the easy digital market?  I'd love an SLR but know that I wouldn't take it every where - so I need a decent compact camera that produces professional results (not asking much then  :005: )

I'm no good with looking at the spec of cameras, but is the same model as Nic posted?  Its a lil bit cheaper, found it via Price Runner ;)

That looks great and the price is OK (ish) too!  I read on the review that the memory card supplied only stores about 11 pics?  Did you get a larger card too?

Can't wait to see the photos - I may be off to the site that Magic Star posted  ;)

Or if not then I've used this one and it's good too...

Have just ordered this one.  Am keeping my fingers crossed it is not too complicated to work out!  :shades: :005:

Just found your Panasonic TZ3 cheaper here Sheryl (where I bought mine from). £175 including special 24 hour delivery.

I nearly ordered this last night but as I'd comsumed a glass of wine or two I thought I'd better leave it as I have a terrible habit of spending money that I can't afford  ::)

So I just sat here again with a nice cup of tea and ordered it anyway  :005:  Still can't really afford it - can't say I need it - I just really want it!

Hopefully I'll be taking good pics soon!

I've just got the Fuji Finepix F31fd and I'm learning how to use it  ph34r  which will probably take some time....but I'm very happy with the snaps I've taken so far and I really like the look and feel of the camera - before I had a Canon ixus 11 a tiny stainless steel thing and was quite disappointed with it especially as it just stopped working................ >:D
