panasonice TZ6 or 7 if you want the extra features ive got the tz3 and im pretty happy with it but the newer ones are way more powerful plus the tz7 allows for HD video recording which u can zoom whilst videoing

So the Panasonic TZ7 is the best one out at the min is it?
How fast is it at taking shots?
Thanks for your help.

The misses has a TZ6 although it takes excellent photos she gets frustrated with the shutter lag when taking action shots but you'll get this to some extent with any compact which I guess is what you're after?

Have you thought about a bridge camera? It's a compromise but shutter lag should be a lot better than a compact.

read some reviews on the tz6/7

trustedreviews usually a good place to look

I have a Digital Photo magazine from July that does a test on the six leading models of superzoom bridge cameras the Canon Powershot SX10 IS came first - and you should be able to pick one up for near enough your budget.
