Well, after some research now have found a camera to replace my dead one: the Panasonic DMC-FZ28K.
Only thing I don't like about it is that it uses a proprietary battery, meaning that my NiMH rechargeables are useless with it. Oh well. A spare battery will be all I need, and that's cheap enough...

Looks like a decent camera for the price. Read a few of the reviews and one says it's quite close to an SLR which is what I use, plus it has RAW which my camera doesn't.
ReplyDeleteGood choice BadTux! ;)
The proprietary battery thing is the only weakness I see in my Nikon.
ReplyDeleteYour approach to it, however, is right on. The spare is no big deal.
Enjoy the new toy when it gets there!
