Hi
Im after a compact digi cam, with great HD camcorder functions, with optical zoom.
I am a total auto man, leave it on auto and take pics, the stills I think will be fine for me, so Im after a really good camcorder function
I have a Mini DV camcorder but I never take it with me, and its to big.
So my thought now is to replace my current digi cam (Casio Exilim Z600), and get something like the TZ7 for my HD video and stills.
Ive done quite a bit hunting and the TZ7 looks to be the best, it must have optical zooming as this to me means its not a proper camcorder replacement (when I say this all I do is casual family trips/holidays/parties etc I am not a professional)
As Ive seen a few like the Canon SX200, but it doesnt do optical zooming on video, the Samsung WB550 is another one maybe, but doesnt seem to be as good? and a bit fatter than TZ7
Please can anyone comment/suggest on a camcorder alternative for me, as I say Im a casual user, so no DSLR etc.
cheers
