Hi folks
Want to get a camera in the next few days between the £150-200 range
Narrowed it down to the Fuji F30, Panasonic DMCFX01 and Canon Ixus 60.
Any recommendations/opinions??????

Fuji will perform better in low light. lower noise all the way up to its highest iso's. But the panny has image stabiliser and superb daytime performance. The canon is kind of middle of the road decent camera. LCD screen is a bit rubbish, not very bright and colours arent accurate to the pictures it produces (images are much better than the camera shows you)
My gf has the ixus 60, she bought it because she had the 50 and she liked the way the pictures fade in and out when your on playback.....
So thats her opinion out the window. She wants to get the panny fx50 when its out as she likes my LX1. Although she was very tempted by the fx01 i told her to hang on for a while

Thanks!
It's a difficult one because they are all decent cameras.
One thing that I also want to make sure, is that whichever one I go for doesn't suffer too much with shutter lag. Hate it when you go to catch a 'moment' and by the time the camera actually takes the picture - that moment has gone!! I had an old Canon Powershot A200 which was a nightmare for shutter lag
I have to say, I like the lenses used on the Pannys

my panny is faster than her ixus 60 marginally. theres not a lot in it, and if i use mine on the priorities its even faster. The fujis are known for having minimum shutter lag afaik. Your right about the panny lenses, in decent light they are supreme
