just been in the same situation myself Jamsey,

was advised by a chap in the know to go for a CANNON G7,

paid £240 odd for it,

 

quite high spec for a compact, only had it a week so not sussed it out yet,

bloody lot of buttons and dials though

 

anyone got one of these?

I've just bought a Panasonic Lumix FZ8,I've not had it long but so far I like what I see

 

It cost me £180 on the internet though you can get it at jessops for £229.

It might be worth a look

Canon would be my choice every time, Powershot S70 is what I went for at first, so whatever model is the latest one of these would be cool. Have recently upgraded to the 30D, but still use the S70 for everyday shots as it's smaller and more compact................Al

ive got the 350D. top camera imho. standared lens is allright but obviosly lacking zoom so ive got a 75-300 usm mk2 on it now. a bit slow AF but good image quality. try ebay, theres a canon shop on there that do refurbished ones with a 12month gurantee on them i think. paid 300 for mine a while back would imagine they have come down abit since then with the 400D out now aswell. have a look, think the seller was canon uk or something like that.

cheers,
