If you haven't replaced your old digital camera with a new 8 mega-pixel camera phone, and prefer to keep your gadgets separate, what should you be asking Santa for this year?
Stuff magazine voted the 8.1 MP Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 the best 'bridge' camera, mainly thanks to its impressive Leica lens, and the Canon PowerShot G10 as the best 'compact' digital camera, and you won't go far wrong with their nominations.
At the cutting edge, see if you can get your hands on a Fujifilm Finepix F200EXR,a 12-megapixel monster with its Extreme Super CCD EXR sensor.
