Reasonable camera?

Cojak - trust me the Sony W300 is the one to get. It's £182 so yes a bit more expensive but at 13Mp it's future proofed for longer and has a heap of great features, while still being very easy to use.

Apart from that, it looks great and the titanium body shivers me timbers!

Don't get sucked in to thinking 13MP on a tiny sensor is a good thing. You'll end up with grainy pics in anything other than perfect light. Better to go for something smaller MP, but better quality lens and processing.

That said, as a true contractor, you should only be considering a leica

More pixels is by no means a guarantee of a better picture.

Which is what the Panasonic mentioned earlier is - a rebadged Leica for less money.

That reminds me of a tip I read on DPreview or similar a few years ago. The advice was to go for a manufacturer with long experience in quality lenses, and setting them up properly*. Leica definitely fits that bill.

* just because a camera has a bought in top name lens doesn't mean the associated software is all that good

Carl Zeiss isn't a good lens?

My Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 is fab.
Easy to use or complicated if you want it to be!
I have no complaints, and would recommend it.

The Ricoh R7 always gets rave reviews, it was about £220 at launch but can be had for £115 now.
