think mine is the S4000 and its awesome, more features than I can use but great for playing with and the auto mode is really good for being lazy.
I still rarely take it out and always end up taking photos with my camera phone.

what i like is it takes AA batterys so if you run out of rechargables just pop to the shop for some nonrechargable and you still shooting. you dont have to wait for the internal battery to charge.
it takes std sized SDcard mine has a 32gb card in it and says it will take 4500 pics at the highest quality setting

I've an S4200 and it's ok but to be honest I actually think my old Finepix bridge was better, was on an S1900 but pictures appeared much sharper. Quite disappointed, wish i'd spent a little more and got the Lumix L810 instead.
Ah well, still handy, but spending the night with my pal's 7d realised what a massive difference there is between an ok bridge camera and a proper DSLR. One can only dream..

Agreed, one of its redeeming features is the auto-pano, especially with a tripod. Stitching appears seamless between the shots

For pointing and shooting you'll be fine with that. Get a tripod though, even a £20 cheap one, if you want to use the shutter speed settings

I had a Fujifilm Finepix bridge years ago and was very impressed by it! The missus has just bought a GE X400 bridge and I'm not a fan TBH, My Lumix pocket camera does a better job.

Lumix or an older Canon G7\G8\G9, whatever is the best you can afford imho, you wont get much bettet for the money... Dont.get hung up on new cameras... Some of the year old high end kit will be cheaper and way outperform some expensive consumer kit...
