The Panny Graeme mentioned is £229 at Jessops, same price at UKdigitalcameras but if you use topcashback you'll get another 2% off

Decided on the LZ30 in the end, mainly based on the fact it does everything I will need it to - and more - when I'm not using my Canon Eos 50D. It's arrived but I'm not allowed it till my birthday next week, will have a play then and post some pics.

As much as I love my DSLR I also have a bridge camera, minolta dimage z2 which has a faulty battery door. Now I love that camera, ideal when the DSLR isn't, ie short trip, concerts, when the DSLR is too conspicuous, and I've had some great results with it. So, I'm looking to replace it with another bridge and as I have a 'special' birthday coming up will have some money to spend. Currently looking at Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LZ30, selling at £134 it seems to have everything my minolta has and a bit more, in fact everything I need, but as my budget is around £200 does anyone have any other recommendations please, or indeed views on the Lumix.

Saw your other post with what you ended up getting, but just to mention, more out of nostalgia than anything else I picked up an A200 & a Z1 from ebay the other week [my original Z1 died with battery door failure] and had forgotten what a lovely little camera it was.

Oh don't worry Homer I shall certainly be hanging on to my Minolta, it's got the battery catch taped up with black insulating tape and still useable!! My first port of call was Ebay but just never managed to win any of the bids) Anyway, the Lumix had it's first outing last weekend when we went to see The Overtones at Blackpool Operal House. I'm still getting my head around it at the moment and it came with very limited handbook. Missed my Canon if I'm honest for capturing the fast movement and differing light changes - I got a few blurry shot I did, however, get a few decent ones, this one, while not being perfect, was my favourite of the night
