A Panasonic Lumix FZ30.
Sure it's not a digital SLR, but I don't think I'm quite ready to invest that much money yet, I think this should be a good stepping stone from my E550.
Well after having a good old play with one in a well know high street camera store, I decided to bite the bullet and order one from a, not so well known website for £337.00.
I read about a 100 reviews and although the high ISO's are not meant to be great, the other features out weighed them. Also the manual focus ring and magnified image is amazing, as is the digital viewfinder, 223,000px on a 0.5" screen = very sharp indeed.
I'll post some pics when the bad boy arrives.
Cheers
Chris
