I've decided I want to get myself a simple to operate, yet reasonable camera that is going to allow me to take better photos for my blog/pics of the kid for family back home/general playing.
I don't want to go wild and spend a serious fortune but would like something better than a compact.
I'm of the opinion that a unit with a larger lens is likely to be better than a compact but I could easily be wrong. (Advice very welcome.)
I've seen the one below in a couple of shops at various prices, played with it and found it easy to use.
A canon (sz120?) and also this Olympus (SP 600UZ?) I also tried a fuji at a similar price but that was having serious problems with focus on high zoom.
Sorry I'm unsure as to model numbers but its more general opinions on the brands I'm interested in.
