Hi all, as you were so helpfull in pointing me the right way 3 years ago when I bought my Lumix TZ7 compact I thought I would bend the general ear for a few opinions on its possible replacement.
The camera has been great but Im starting to feel restricted by the lack of control.
I have a budget of around £400.
Im looking for something with a few more functions and has a bit more control.
I really want something that can fit in a pocket as I have a Nikon F-601 35mm SLR that rarely got used due to its bulk.
I do a lot of shots when out on my bike and sometimes in the kind of areas I dont want to draw too much attention to an expensive camera so small and fast is helpful.
I have been looking at Lumix LX7 as it seems to get good reviews and fits the bill but worried the lack of long zoom might be restrictive.
I have also been looking at the GX1 this is pushing the limits for size and stretching budget.
Another possible contender is the GF3. Swapable lenses, within budget but looks like it lacks control.
So do any of you fine people have experience with any of these cameras, opinions or warnings?
Many thanks for your time,
Dave.
