buying a new camera

[nagafiend]

Hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone could help me i'm after a new camera and have been searching and researching eg reviews sample images i would like a camera thats good at wildlife, lanscapes, close ups, holiday pics etc .

I would be willing to spend £300 on the camera itself but also i would like to do a course on photography so i can understand better the processes of taking great pictures as well as learning to get the most out of my camera i have looked at a lumix lx3 and the sample pictures i have seen are gorgeous also is a large zoom really necessary for my needs.

here's hoping for some advice

Excellent camera - in a class of its own

However, if you want zoom (for wildlife) then go for the Panasonic TZ7 - HD video is good as well

I shoot with one and its simply the best all rounder in its class
