This is quite a useful tool. Compare sample images between 2 cameras. Would be good if you could compare a whole load but its pretty good anyway.
Latest update:
The Panasonic FZ20 has crept on to my radar recently due to its speed of use and zoom although the noise is a bit of a worry for larger prints.
Slightly worried about some of the comments I've had on the Nikon which is leading me to lean towards the Olympus 5060 again.
Should be hitting the shops over Christmas as I'll be at my folks in Bath so I'll be doing the all important test driving of my shortlist.
Getting the hang of the lingo and what to look for now which has made me realise that I'll be getting a dslr at some pointââ'¬Â¦can't believe how little noise there is on the 300d compared to the units I've been looking at. Don't need one just yet though. I've got a lot of learning to do.
