Trouble I have is my current Kodak DX6490 is such a good camera, it's going to be hard to beat, it also has a focal length of 38-380mm!!!!!

On Amazon 'currently' 46 out of 65 reviewers give it 5 out of 5 :

When I bought it, it was end of line and IIRC only £195 from
www.Ebuyer.com.
The reviews it had were excellent and for the price it was a bit of a no-brainer.
The replacement Kodak of the time was £295 and alot of the manual adjustment had been removed. Infact they dropped the DX range altogether replacing it with the 'Z' range. Even later ones IIRC even dropped the Schneider lense.
It is only 4 Mega Pixel, but most people are suprised when I tell them that.
What lets it down is the movie quality as it's only 320x240 pixels, my old Nokia N95 phone was better for video (my Ring lap was shot on the nokia).
