i could, and thanks for the input, but that camera is huge. really wanted one of the three i listed, thanks

the tz5 isnt that big ,i,ve got mine in a pouch ,fits in my jacket pocket no probs ,the 10x optical zoom really comes in useful ,and its capable of great pictures

the only think that puts me off reading a review is the level of noise it creates

It also mentions the flash being near the handgrip , is this a problem ?

I am after a camera as i have a Canon Powershot S5 IS but it's bulky to carry when your out and about and just wanted to take some shots!

I looked that the 960 on Amazon , although it was a good price, i went to look at it in Currys yesterday and it just seems a bit bulky and dated!

Hasnt really been an issue for me to be honest! I suppose it depends how you hold it!

You will always get a certain amount of noise on a compact camera!! Its not going to produce DSLR quality images but as a substitute for me carryin the 5D to parties etc, its perfect for snap shots!!

i see that you forgot to add the fuji j150 at £129 at amazon.
highly rated by the gadget show at one time.
10.1 mp and the best opitical zoom (x5) of the ones mentioned

Just picked this camera up today. Was looking at paying £176 so very pleased I saw this thread and saved myself a few pounds.

As for the camera its very nice, haven't had much of a play yet but I got it because I hate pictures where you get too much surrounding stuff and the optical zoom should let me get at what I want.
