John obviously has a budget in mind. Also what do want to do with it........apart from take photographs!!! I would certainly recommend the 'bridge' cameras that John has indicated and that Vince and many others use to such good effect as you will no doubt have seen. Give us a clue and I'm sure we can point you in the right direction My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

My budget is around £200 (be my last!!!) as for supporting local businesses i have always done that as I used to be a Retail manager hence my reticence at mucking people about The reviews were useful and i think it may be the fuji that will win although you have given me other ideas! Good luck James Thanks all great to see the views of like minded people (excuse pun!!) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I just looked up your old birthday thread, but it doesn't show the date, because it said "Happy belated birthday, Bright Eyes. So you'll have to tell us.
