Thinking of buying a lightweight compact for those days when I don't want to lug my full kit around. I have read the reviews of the latest Panasonic and Sony offerings but there is no substitute for actual field experience. So I wondered if the good people on UH had any first hand suggestions? I would like a reasonable zoom range and good IQ, I realise that there will always be trade offs when looking at these type of cameras but am prepared to sacrifice some lens speed and control for convenience. I should also say that some sort of viewfinder is a must, I find LCD screens difficult to read on bright days.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I love my LUMIX ZS 100! It is a great little travel camera, and I shot some (for me) great low light shots. The ZS200 has come out, but from what I read, one is better off buying the ZS100 and you probably might get it for less now.
