Looking for something more appropriate (to me) than FZ200

I don't know the prices across the pond, but I'll throw in for consideration the Sony A57 with 18-135 lens. I love this camera. I do a lot of street photography, and this kit with a padded hand-strap doesn't cause me fatigue. IMO very good ergonomics, IQ for both is excellent, and the camera itself has more bells and whistles than I'll ever use. Can be had for $750 over here.

As an alternative if this kit is too expensive there, you may want to consider a factory refurbished DSLR/lens combo from Nilkon, Canon, or Sony ( no offense meant to users of other brands).

Good luck in your quest.
