Hi There,

I've been reasonably happy with my Konica Minolta Dimage Z5 for the past 5 or so years; however it is now starting to show it's age with the occasional freeze on start up (lens extends and screen comes on but freezes part way through focusing - remove batteries and all is fine) and the left hand side of the control ring is starting to not function properly (if at all).

I have noticed also that the skies don't appear as blue as in various other Kodak/Sony/Canon cameras used at the same time!

Basically I'm after something of a similar camera to the one I've got, and have looked in brief at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38, but was after some more advice as to what to go for; or is there anything I can do to give my camera a new lease of life (including proper colours)?
