I'm a rookie user myself with a D80, but it fills my needs (a D300 would be nice though). I'm actually going to buy a new camera this very afternoon for party shooting and quick movies of my kids (going for a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 that seems like a perfect pocket camera with good movie/still combo). A fat SLR camera is not always the right choice  |
I have also good collection of old film cameras. Its a bit more than 100.
Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - is a good camera with loooong zoom. Many of my firends like it.
However, I presonally woud prefer Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 due to outstanding quality of the high ISO output with low grain. And as I understand you don't need RAW format or some manual modes....
Just try to compare images between two these cameras. The price for both is comparable.
I would by this Sony myself for the same puposes, but abcense of some manual modes and RAW format stop it.... HD movie for kids is also present in that sony
