After many years of using Canon Powershots, I'm thinking of selling my Canon G12 because I'm not happy with the sensor quality (I'd like much more detail & clarity in the pictures, especially when zooming in on photos I've taken) but I need some advice on what camera - and lens - to replace it with!
Ideally (though maybe unrealistically?) I would like to be able to shoot everything from landscapes, portraits with nice SLR quality blurry backgrounds, sports (or more likely fast moving pets!), macro (one of my favourite ways to shoot), etc, to autofocusing HD videos, with one lens (or two max.)
Unfortunately my budget is only about £400 to an absolute maximum of £600, I have an idea of a make and model that might be best, but I'm really out of my depth without any outside help and I'd like to hear what you would recommend (dp review has always been my go to site for info but I've never posted in the forums before)
Many thanks
