Lost and Need Help

Shutterbug Strasse

A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

I own a Panasonic DMC TZ7. It worked great for us until the shutter cover failed, after two years.... annoying.
What is a good substitute for this camera? It must be compact, have a good telephoto (magnification), with an easy point and shoot mode, HD movies, reasonable macro-mode, for outdoor and indoor use. It's mainly a travel/family camera. The pic quality on the Panasonic is fine.
I understand the problem I have is very common for the Panasonic. I wonder about other cameras in this class.
I am willing to pay up to about $400 (in the US).
Yes, I have searched the camera sites until I am blue in the face, but user reviews are always mixed between: it's fantastic and it sucks.
I hit upon the Nikon S9100 and S8200, which had some good reviews, but a lot of negative user reviews.
