What's everybody use/recommend. Ideally I don't want to spend much more than £200.

Cheers,

Mike.

I would recommend the Fuji Finepix 2600 for this money. Really an excellent camera and easy to use.
I bought one for my wife and was 240 from DABS, but I managed to get for 200 and also bought a 128MB compact flash card for an extra 40quid.
I have a Canon Powershot G1 and it isnt any better, although the resolution spec is higher and it cost me 800quid with a 340MB micr drive included. (16 months ago)

Thanks guys.

We'd sort of decided on a Sony P31, but Jessops were sold out, so we're still looking. Would it be worth forking out a few more quid to get optical zoom?

RevengeIsSweet - can you give me some more details please:

What model, is it batteries or recharge pack, what level of zoom etc?

Cheers,

Mike.

Deffo upgrade the memory card if you can - I got 256mb and I get over 3000 pics at 640 * 480, or 150 at 2058 * 1522 (number may be wrong)
