new camera

magic77 · 05-28-2009, 04:29 PM

looking at the pics I took of my new e90 it reinforces the need for a new camera.

Currently have a HP photsmark 8MP camera which aint too bad considering it was an emergency purchase and only cost £100 when they where going for around £200 plus. But its not greatest, slow and lot of noise

So been looking around for a new compact camera, need something small as that way easier to carry round when out with the baby and around the house.

Got it down to few cameras as the final choice but which one

Ricoh CX1
FinePix 200EXR
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 / DMC-TZ7

Any thoughts suggestions on which one. Current favorites are the finepix / panasonic but not sure

Bought a Panasonic TZ5 last July and it's great. Very easy to use, good zoom and performs well, so I imagine the TZ7 will be equally good.

well tookthe plunge and ordered teh fuji in the end found agood website that compared the cams in simple terms ie photo samples of each mode instead of pages of review text which you just fall asleep too,

The fuji seemed to have sharpest photos and best color levels plus at £250 for the cam , spare battery and 4GB card was a good deal
