My old camera died on me early on in my recent holiday, so I need a replacement. My last two have both been Lumix FZ200s and I've been really happy with them, so I'm looking at the FZ82D. It has a similar spec, similar weight and is generally available at £399, so I'm very tempted to just go...

Thanks Lindsay. I'm going away for 6 weeks at the end of May, so I'm aiming to have it done and dusted by then, but who knows? Hoping to maybe get some babies in the spring!
