Yes, I have browsed similar threads here but new compacts keep hitting the market hence a new thread. :)

Because the SLR sometimes becomes impractical to lug around, I am interested in a stylist with a decent MP to Op Zoom ratio. I always thought the Canon IXUS ones are very nice and compact but I am open to suggestions. :thinking:

Many thanks.
 
I'd go for a G10 while you can still get one. The G11 is available very soon and is over £550.00. I have a G9 and love the thing, and I'm sure the G10 is just as good as the G9 and its not as expensive as the G11.
 
just bought a TZ7.....i must say i'm impressed
build quality is superb & picture quality is very good if you stay below 200iso
i have a red one & think it's a great bit of kit....very stylish & easy to use

But are they 'compact'?

I'd say the new S90 looks interesting and is even less 'impractical to lug around'. ;)
 
Thanks guys for all your inputs. I am leaning towards TZ7. Walked in the panasonic store locally last weekend and the prices did not seem all that bad compared to the web ones. Any suggestions for best prices? :thinking:
 
If you like to look through a view finder the Panasonic is not for you - Screen only and in bright light very hard to see. Quite noisy if you pixel peep too...

Panasonic LX3 for good ISO performance.
Olympus EP1 or any micro 4/3rds for the best image quality/ISO performance by far of any compact (excluding Leica M8) but they're not as compact and are expensive.
Fuji F60 for a cheap compact with very good image quality
Panasonic TZ6/TZ7 for good optical zoom range
 
Now my head is spinning :shake:
