Quick advice, please - Panasonic Camera

I'm hoping that someone can advise me, please .....

I want a camera that fits into my coat pocket, and takes decent photos - an 'aim and shoot' type, but one that is reliable and gives clear photographs.

Argos are currently offering the Panasonic F3 12.1 MP compact camera for £79.99 (supposedly reduced from £159.99).

I can find reviews for lots of different Panasonic cameras (specialized websites), but none that tell me about this particular model. Problem is, I have reserved one and only have until 5 pm tomorrow to make up my mind as to whether I should purchase it, or just let the offer go.

I was hoping that some MSErs might have bought / used one of these and could let me know what they think of it. Hope someone can help .....

TIA
If it's cheap, I'm cheerful!

    I've got an older Panasonic, the FX30, and I'd not hesitate to make a generic recommendation for the brand, at least, as I think it's a great camera.

    I don't see any reason why the model you're looking at should be appreciably worse than any other Panasonic....

    I google "panasonic f3 review" and the first page of results is filled with reviews and blogs about it.....
