Don't know which digital camera?

[Gav]

after using and owning a few different cameras, I would suggest a second hand SLR for wildlife, either the canon or nikon range are very decent, I personally have a canon but that was just due to price and what was on the market when i was purchasing the camera.

for the small compact/stylish market you can't go past the Olympus range, I've got a Olympus 770SW it's sadly a tad over the 200 mark. it's waterproof down to about 10meters and very good in all weather.

dabs.com have the new Olympus 790SW for 168.79, I have no experience of this camera but as with the 770 it's water proof and shock proof.

I put mine through the works including snorkelling and standing out in the Scottish weather, it's also accidentally been dropped in a pint of beer!

hope that helps a little

just noticed you'd settled on the Lumix TZ3 Panasonic. hopefully this bit I added maybe useful for others

Hi Gav,

Didn't want an SLR really because I was intending to use it for hol's and family snaps as well. Just wanted something stylish and use it occassionally for wildlife. I haven't managed to use it properly for wildlife yet but have got some really decent general snaps so far.

TZ3 is the best or one of the best of it's kind without buying an SLR.
