I smashed the missus' beloved Sony Cybershot W17 last time I went snowboarding and with the immenent arrival of our first born, we need a little compact to record our memories - the gripped D200 might be a bit wieldy for snapshots
She only wants a black camera, hence my two choices, which are:
Panasonic Lumix FS7
Sony Cybershot W220
Both are spot-on for our budget and both seem to have good features (I've used the Lumix on holiday and liked it) but if anyone has one or the other (or both) give me your verdicts.
IQ is important - I was happy with what i saw from the Lumix - but I'm not too bothered about raw capture, HD video and 'gizmo' things that more expensive cameras might sport; compact design, a black body and easy controls are the key things, all things the missus has asked for.
If it were me I'd have a Canon G10 or a Nikon P6000 but this is for her so I must obey
Thanks in advance for any help you can give...
