Camera - I need a new one... suggestions?

[peanut]

i must admit i am not a fan of the modern fashion for large LCD screens and no viewfinder. My new panasonic is an excellent camera and a big step up from my old Finepic 5000, .

lovely camera the Finepix S5000 series . I still have my S5600 the one with the fixed lens which eliminates the slight delay on powerup.

There are times that trying to compose a shot with the Finepix J120 in bright sunlight using the LCD screen is a nightmare true. But then that is not the object of the compact style camera.

If I need a decent image then I use my S5600 with the viewfinder.I wouldn't take this camera out on my bike to take snapshots.

If I want an easy to carry camera to take some snaps that I can put into my shirt Pocket or bike wedge then I carry the Finepix J120

The two cameras are a perfect combination and complement each other perfectly.

Its horses for courses

With the Panasonics you can alter the brightness of the screen, also the angle of view so you can hold it above your head in a crowd. The anti-shake also has different settings.

Unfortunately the finepix died and I had to replace it, brought the Panasonic and have been very impressed with it. With 10x zoom and the other features its a very good package and it will do most things I need a camera for, there's no need for a second camera. Its just nice to have something that will fit into my jacket pocket, just, after years of carting around bulky cameras.
