Digital Camera - Help what to buy?

Righteo I need some help and I need it fast.
I need to get a digital camera asap. I want to spend £150 (inclusive of extra bits - case/memory card etc) and it needs to be fairly resilient as I am going to Africa - I still am unsure about whether to go for an AA battery powered camera or internal rechargable (boths have merits as AA are easier to come by in Ghana but not necessarily super quality and rechargable is easier but I might not always be able to recharge).
I was previously recommended on this board a Canon a530 (I could get this for £99) but have just got convinced that maybe I should go for a panasonic…I have narrowed it down to three…
1 Panasonic LZ3 £114 online
2 Panasonic FX3 £129 from comet
3 Panasonic LS2 £69 from comet
all have different attributes the LZ3 has great spec and takes batteries, but the FX3 has a better lense (leica) and the LS2 is just plain cheap…..
Can you help? Thanks so much

Buy one with a camera maker's name on it.
Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax etc - you will get a better lens (the MOST important part of the camera) - they buy their electronics in from the likes of Panasonic anyway !0
