Camera wanted: £100 budget, must be thin

ok guys and gals, my birthday is next week and my parent's want to buy me a digi camera...

Budget is £100 .. must be compact and thin, i don't care much about megapixels (ove 5 is fine) but I like a good lense if i can.

I currently have a Panasonic FZ5 which is ace but a bit big

Any suggestions? I like the look of the Casio Exilims but there's so many i don't know which to look at

  • The Panasonic DMC-FS3 seems to be winning in my mind at the moment..

    Was going to recommend the Casio Exllims, but then saw you already looking

    Agree about the wide range, I have one of the 7xxx models 7.1 MP 3x
    Quite happy with it, thin, good interface, brilliant battery life.
    Zoom lens did fail in 1st year, was repaired by them within a week (at xmas time too)
    Look for a slightly older model if need to get price down
  • I think i've now settled on the new Panny FX33 - it's got image stabalisation and a 28mm lens (for wide-angled photos)

    Now to find somewhere cheap that gives quidco...

    EDIT: Bought it from the dixons website, phoning up first and getting them to pricematch here to knock a few quid off, bringing the price down to £129.99 + delivery
