Thinking of getting something a bit better than my FinePix A600.
10 MP would be fine with a zoom lens and just as compact as the A600 and uses AA batteries.
I would like a lens that doesn't distort the picture.
Like this.....
Oh, and a reasonable price.
Any thoughts. ..:confused:
I now seem to spend a lot of time arguing with inanimate objects
Just traded in my Olympus E300 for a Sony A700, bonus being I`ll be able to use the lans with my Z7/S270, when the adapter becomes available.
Wicked cam & you can also set it to 16:9 which is a bonus as you can use it for stills within your edit suite if working in W/S.

I believe that distortion (the converging verticals?) is simple (and unavoidable) perspective distortion, Fergie, as you have the camera pointing down from the horizontal.
You'd either have to shoot kind of square on to the subject. Or you'd need a Tilt and Shift Lens the kind architects use
I got a Panasonic FX500 with a 25mm lens and 5X Zoom
I can't see distortion at 25mm - not done too much architectural.
I paid £239 for it
I think he means barrel distortion chaps, not perspective.
