Hi sifus and gurus,

I need some help. I've been using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 for the past 3 years, and I've been extremely happy with the performance of this camera. However, the camera is now showing signs of wear and tear and it doesn't focus properly when taking videos and it sometimes can't even turn on. Because of that, I'm looking to get another camera.

Is it possible for me to get something similar to the TZ5 around the RM500 - RM1000 range? If no, what is the best camera you would recommend for that budget?

EDIT: I haven't really started looking, but saw a samsung PL120 yesterday, which looked ok. However, reviews don't seem to rate it too highly, and a few friends have discouraged me from buying samsung cameras.

I had one of those too smile.gif
and yeah... it's a nice camera.

You could try looking at this http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/q311travelzoomgrouptest/17

The ZS10 in the review is known as the TZ20 in our part of the world... also the direct descendant of your TZ5.
