    I have the Panasonic Lumix, its brilliant for such a compact camera & very easy to use.

    Is there such a thing as a bad digital camera in this day and age the way i look on it tech moves so fast you will never keep up with the latest a camera that say £60 now about 1 year ago it probably was a top range and a top of the range camera today will probably be worth £60 a year later.
    Point im making is just buy something u can afford rather than going over the top what ever you buy im sure u will be happy with the quality of the picture.

    Well if i was going to buy another compact digital camera the link below is what i would go for but everyones different.
    I think there will always be a slight delay when you press the button to when the photo is tooken.

    It does depend on what you want out of your camera but I would give this a whirl for £100:

    Fuji Finepix S1500

    I've had a couple of Fuji's and for the money they are a great piece of kit, easy to use, fast and with good picture output.

    I would ensure you get optical zoom and not digital, and unless your blowing your images up bigger than A3 5-8 Mega Pixel is plenty.

    Here are some links to comparative reviews, some a bit old, but will still give you some good information.
