What budget have you allocated for buying this camera?
£250-£300, could possibly stretch as far as £350 if it would be worth it but id prefer not to.

10x-12x or better

Do you care for manual controls?
Yes, but only as an option, id rather not have to use them all the time

General photographs, landscapes, close-ups of plant life.
Will you be making big prints of your photos or not?
Very Doubtful

Nope, just whatever is best
Are there particular models you already have in mind?
I've been looking at:

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD)
Not really
