    What kind of help do you want?

    Yes buy it? No dont?

    If it does what you want it to do and you like the camera then yeah, get it. I have a TZ3 and it's pretty good, although i haven't used it very much yet.

    Really want something that i can carry about with a compact design, keep it in my pocket or glovebox and be able to take some nice pictures. currently using an old dx3700 but its now too big.
    the reason i was going for the TZ3 was the 28mm lens and 10x optical zoom, thats as much as i know about cameras and i was hoping someone could either say yes its good for the money(£222) or point me in another direction
    Thanks

    it's a tricky one, as there aren't very many cameras in that segment. There are only a few cameras that have longer than about 4x optical.

    I looked at the Ricoh R6, but the image quality isn't too hot. have a look on http://www.dpreview.com/ they have a review of the TZ3 at least.
