new camera?

[lola B]

we will be picking up Rosie in a little over 2 weeks now and of course our camera up and decides to die its totally dead but i dont blame it as its very old any suggestions for a new camera i dont want anything to expensive or huge just something small and relatively cheap preferably lumix as it has been recommended but dont really mind 

[Pudding]

I have a Lumix G1 and it is fantastic

[JohnMcL7]

What sort of budget do you have in mind?

[Sheryl]

I have the Lumix G2.  Haven't used it yet

[JaspersMum]

Love my Lumix TZ10

I'm still using my Lumix TZ7, absolutely love it.  Will definitely get another Lumix if this one eventually dies.

Depending on what you want, the Lumix TZ20 is on offer at Jessops

Might get one myself!

budget wise very low  we have decided on the fs40 it seems pretty good and a friend recommended it and her parents own a printer so hopefully she will know

I'd be careful with the TZ20 and the TZ30 (the TZ20 replaces the TZ10 and the TZ30 replaces the TZ20) as they've been criticised for having poor image quality compared to the TZ7/TZ10 and rival cameras.  The TZ25 (the stripped down version of the TZ30) strangely seems to get better reviews for image quality:

I was just about to say the same thing John, I had the TZ10, so upgraded (or so I thought) to the TZ20 - and it's absolute rubbish, picture quality is poor, flash is dreadful, it's now sat in the box and gone back to the TZ10.
