New Camera

[granny grump]

I'm looking to buy a reasonably priced small digital camera to take every day shots with good resolution. I currently have a Kodak 3X optical zoom which has been fine. I noticed yesterday at a boxing day bash at my daughters that it is just not quick enough to catch the great grandchildren before they turn away. I have some beautiful shots of the back of their heads. The picture I think i have taken is not the one the camera catches as there is a delay in my pressing the button and the picture actually being taken hence the back head shots.

One of my grandsons gets married on 30 December so I might just be able to get one in the sales

Can you recommend a better camera please?

Damn blast and bum - I am so cross - i ordered Panazonic Lumix SZ9 Digital Camera at Tesco direct for collection today after 4pm and guess what - it didn't arrive - too late now for the wedding or to get another elsewhere all though this is a great deal. I will use my Kodak and be mindful of the pointers that you have given me - Thank you again - and thank you shoota for your contribution.

I'm soooooooooo excited can't wait for the big day
