Digital camera reccommendations £100-£200 Please!

*manda*

I've got a panasonic TZ3 and really cannot fault it. Bought it in january this year for £150 new, and a 2 gb memory card was under £6 which will store up to 500 odd pictures taken on top resolution. It has excellent optical zoom- which is reallyv important to me, and it takes excellent pictures at speed and in poor light again which is very important to me. I also picked up a hard case on ebay for under a fiver delivered and a spare battery for under £4 delivered. I think the other really important thing about a digital camera is size, and this one fits happily in my jeans pocket which means i'll happily take it out with me.

I have also had 2 kodak cameras previous to this which i was happy with but became too big to fit in my pockets.

it all depends on what you want to do with it and how big you are willing to go.

the olympus mju range are reet nice (and tiny in size)
the fuji 65xx/95xx have great features but are considerably larger and are more of a stopgap till you get an SLR
the olympus SP550uz/560uz are great large compacts with 18x optical zoom

if youre going for low light stuff, then image stabilization is useful (like found in the canon IS range)

https://www.dpreview.com is probably your best bet once youve worked out what you want to do with it

I have had two fuji cameras around the £90 mark which were ok, but now have the Panasonic TZ3 (about £145) and it is fantastic, so many features for a compact camera and great photo's, so much better all round than the fujis I have owned.
