Depends, how much do you wanna spend ?

The one I used to take those was £350 I coudlnt really justify spending anymore money than that.

It comes with an 18-55mm lens, so you have a bit of zoom but not much, it wont be any good for sports photography unless you can get very very very close to the subject.

However it'll be good for closeup stuff, portraits and snaps that kind of thing. Its a reasonable starter lens till you find your feet with the camera IMHO.

Dont forget you can optically zoom or crop the images by maniulating them with the camera or photoshop so dont get to hung up about lens length when you start.

Horses for courses - I had a D40X, whilst taking excellent pictures it never got used as it was a PITA to carry about. Eventually managed to flog it for £230 (and yes I did try on the forum many a time), so I'm now also looking to buy a camera like the OP with a similar budget. I like the look of the Lumix too, but I'm quite keen on the crop of cameras that can take HD 30fps movie footage too - Kodak V series

I have been seriously contemplating the Lumix DMC- TZ5, it seems to push all the buttons I want for a compact point/shoot camera

Anyone had any experience with the Sony DSLR A200?

Look quite a good price at certain places...
