Bump. I'm going camera shopping on Sunday
I have a lumix tz5 and its been a great compact, but didnt feel ready for the full dslr yet so picked up a lumix fz38 last week. Its nowhere near as flexible as a full dslr but offers that little bit extra that my compact doesnt, cant wait to get out fishing as the extra zoom should come in handy snapping birds and it has an excellent macro for bugs and plants
Update: I haven't bought it yet but I think I'm going for the Sony NEX 5.
Very thorough review here - http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/SonyNex5Nex3/ - just scanned the conclusion, but it seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. Great images, but a poor interface. Have a play with one tomorrow, you'll soon see if you like it or not.
The NEX 5 does look kinda sexy like but I's want the telephoto zoom rather than just the wide angle lens.
My issue with those kind of camera is that they're not pocketable. You may as well get a SLR when you get to the stage of whacking a great big lens on a compact. Saw someone with the D5000 today and it's even smaller than the D40.
Not a bad design though. Essentially a lens with a handle on.
I know what you mean but if the lens compresses into itself when not in use....
Seem a bit expensive for what you get though but if you feel comfortable handling the camera.....

They're handbagable though.
Have you bought it yet?
Pics?
