I am looking to buy a digital camera to replace my film SLR and its 24-70 and 70-210 lens, I use the wide end of the zooms alot and I don't see many digital that go wider than 35mm equivalent, any one any ideas? budget upto £200

Panasonic LX2 or soon-to-be-launched LX3.
I've got an LX2 and it's fabulous up to ISO 200, the noise is awful at anything more than that.

Ricoh GX100 and GX200 are 24-70 or thereabouts.
With optional electronic viewfinder for bright sun or if you are long sighted and didn't bring the reading glasses.

How about staying with SLR but moving to digital SLR? You could get a second-hand one with a 18-55mm or similar lens to start with (eqiuiv to about 27-83mm), and add wider and longer lenses later.

What film slr did / do you have, as the equlivent make of dslr may be able to use your older lenses.
This is definatly the case for Canon EOS glass.

except the cheaper digital SLRs will make your existing lenses seem 1.5 or 1.6 times longer, which isnt ideal for wide angle.

Panasonic or Lumix cameras seem to offer the widest angles amongst the compact digital cameras. They use leica lenses.
The Lumix DMC FX35 has a the equivelent of a 25mm at it's widest and 100mm at the long end of it's optical zoom.
