Just a quick update: I went for the Canon Ixus 80IS in the end. Thanks to everyone for their input.

Didn't pick this thread up so my input is a bit late. The camera you have chosen is a good one, but I bought the Sony Cybershot W170 from Amazon for £126 + a 2GB Sandisk Memory Pro Duo Card for a further £9.99, a Chirstmas pressie for my wife. Has everything on it. 10 megapixels, 5 x optical zoom, etc. etc. Most important like your Canon, it has an optical viewfinder as well as the lcd screen (essential in strong sunlight). See it here:-

Completely off track Tescos are selling the Canon Eos 1000d for £289.
With my wifes staff discount it was £258.

Lovely.

Hey Darth, how's the camera?? I'm thinking of getting this or the Nikon D60 but am having masses of trouble deciding!!!! What kind of photos are you taking? I'm going to be using it lots for my kids who can't sit still!

Thanks, Darth.

Hey fella, its absolutely amazing to be honest. The detail on full auto is incredible and to be honest I havent even started looking at the advanced features yet! It feels great, nice and well built, and really comfortable to hold.
With cashback it feels like a real steal to me and personally I love it. I have every faith that this would suit me better than the Nikon.
I have taken loads of pics of my kids so far, some of my dog (jesus the detail on him is outstanding) and plan to buy a macro lens and take some pics of small things soon.

I love it.
