Hi guys. Aware a few photographers are on the forum so a bit of advice please.

I used to have a good 'point and shoot' camera but a few years ago thought I would try a 'bridge' camera. The reality however is that I just use the point and shoot mode of this and probably take less pictures as cant be bothered to carry it around.

I have therefore decided that I am going to go back to a point and shoot but the one feature I did make a lot if use of was the zoom - current camera has 18x optical zoom and would be keen on something similar.

Has anybody got any advice on a quality compact camera with a good zoom? I am prepared to pay for a good camera and am in no rush as just want sorted before my holiday in July so if anything new in the pipeline happy to wait.

Cheers.
