Red face Wide angle lens help please anyone

Hi, Kitch's good lady here, if anyone can help me with my next digital camera purchase i would be really grateful, getting fed up of reading conflicting reviews of one camera to the next, I currently have a Kodak Easyshare Z650Bridge style camera with a super wide angle lens of 0.7 x 55mm (Schneider -Kreuznach), which is fine but i wanted to know if there is anything better out there for around the £200 ish price plus lens ? I am an estate agent so the wide angle bit is really important, thank you for looking and i really hope you guys can help.

:-)

Re: Wide angle lens help please anyone

your current camera has a 38mm wide angle equivalent lens, so any of the current crop of 28mm/30mm lensed cameras will give you some added width. Look at the Panasonics (FS5, TZ5 etc.) which generally get good reviews, or the Sony Cybershots have the 28mm lens too.
