Preferably based on experience.... Looking for a replacement for my 4Mp point and shoot. Would like to meet/exceed as many of the following as possible but don't want to spend a fortune on the top of the line... nor do I need that... 5mp or better 6x optical zoom or better 2" LCD or better image stabilization TTL viewfinder would be nice but not a necessity Do not need an SLR or changeable lenses - My needs aren't nearly that elaborate nor are my skills. My girlfriend has a Kodak DX6490 which has most of what I want but not all..... would prefer a german lens but that's not a necessity either.... Thanks in advance... BTW, my current point and shoot is a Sony DSC-S40 which takes wonderful pictures.... Panasonic Lumix FZ30.

The Lumix FZ30 and Kodak P850 look to be marvelous cameras... but a bit more than I can afford at the moment. I'd like to stay under $300 US if at all possible. With that in mind I have found a few choices that look like they might fit the bill.... and yes, still looking for recommendations and any feedback on the ones I am going to list... Minolta FZ5 Minolta FZ6 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 Fuji S5200 Thanks. Mike B.
