Hi kerrowdown. Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes I know how it goes and have already had a suggestions along those lines and there is some truth in it. But personal recommendations are second to non especially when they come from enthusiasts. I don't anticipate being carried away but you never know!

Many thanks to all those who welcomed me so promptly. I also appreciate comments of the Pentax X5 I am considering. It's a valid point that not going for a full DSLR one might later regret but in my case am pretty sure I won't feel the need. My requirements today are a lot less demanding of a camera but won't decide until I have it in my hands to assess how it feels. I am particularly impressed with it having an eye piece and a screen that can be tilted to take account of problems with seeing the target properly. In my case I have had a cataract operation that makes my eyes particularly light sensitive.

My name is Tony and to my friends known as Tone. I have had an Pentax SVi 5.0 for some years that has served me well and decided to upgrade to a DSLR but read there was a camera under the heading of Bridge that would
probably do the job. When I purchased my first camera the internet never existed so to be able to research how different cameras work and how well and to compare prices is nothing short of a wonder. It was while reading a review I came across this forum so joined and was immediately impressed with how professional it was. I have a short list of preferred cameras and at the top is the Pentax X5 Bridge. It is reasonably priced yet not crammed with options I am unlikely to use. After all the camera will be used for family-type pictures only and any faults found by reviewers were small and insignificant.
