Which New Camera to buy?

My trusty camera which I purchased about 10yrs ago has finally given up the ghost. Well it had deteriorated markedly recently so I’m contemplating buying a new one , I rather fancy a Nikon J1 having briefly seen one recently. I know this is off topic but having seen some splendid pictures of MXs on this site and in the STHT, I  thought to draw on the combined knowledge of members experienced in this field. It will be used mainly for holiday pics of family , Cariad, Buildings, Cariad, Views,Cariad, holiday snaps,etc etc,  Any relevant comments appreciated.

Don’t know if it’s in your budget, but have you seen the Pentax Q10? It’s beautifully light and easy to use, I took some great holiday pics with it this year. Message me if you’d like some sample pictures.

Cheers,

How about a Panasonic LUMIX Digital Camera DMC-TZ40.  20 X Optical Leica Zoom lens and full HD video recorder as well.

Funny, I was going to recommend its predecessor, the TZ30. So good we have two, one each. Read the reviews on Amazon and see what you think but it’s a great little camera and comes off better in a review between it and the TZ40.

Thanks to you all for the suggestions , I’ve been trying to ascertain which one to buy , reading up specs,reviews etc, It’s like trying to swim in soup, Anyway made a decision today , purchased a Nikon J3. But oh boy ,I’m getting too old to understand the complexities of these things, so many options, I think it’ll be set on auto most of the time.

Lots of learning time required , however it’s nice and light, easy to handle and can easily cope with my holiday snaps of Cariad etc.

Thanks again

We have Sony NEX 5
The screen tilts down so it is fantastic for taking pictures over the top of the windscreen.
