Which Digital Camera?

Hi,
- Sorry if its in the wrong place -

I've got about £100ish to spend, maybe a bit more?
What is the best digital camera I could get?
What should I be looking for when buying a camera?

Cheers

    What you should be looking for depends on what you want to photograph.

    Optical zoom is better than digital zoom, as it is achieved through the lenses rather than through a computerised image. Standard optical zoom is 3x, but you can get more even with your £100.

    Argos have a few good deals at the moment, including the Fuji JX530 and Samsung PL201. Both have a high ISO for taking photos in lower lighting conditions, and have video capture.

    For your money I also like the look of Canon PowerShot A490 Camera and Selphy CP780 Photo Printer at just under £100.
