Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS10

I have just recently started my degree, Architectural Technology, at Trent, and being a part photography based course I was told almost immediately that I'd need to purchase a digital camera capable of wide-angle, long-distance shooting, as well as close-up detailed shots prior to beginning.
