Digital Camera for £200

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent digital camera for £200? Does anyone rate the Canon Ixus 40 4Mp? Any other Suggestions?

    The Canon Powershot A95 is worth considering, I think. 5Mp, 3x optical zoom, plus lcd viewer can be twisted to any angle (like a camcorder). I am very pleased with my Powershot A60 (earlier model, only 2Mp, but very good)

    Available for around £198.95 incl from Digital First, or £198.99 incl from Amazon

    Gets very good write ups, see dcresource and Steve's Digicams

    I also recommend Canon A95. Have had one for about six months now and it is brilliant. Not the smallest digital camera, but then I find very small ones difficult to handle. Has great automatic settings, takes great pics, has manual overide facilities if you like to tinker with exposures, etc. Also the software that comes with it to download pics to computer is great. Will automatically place images into a folder named with the date you took the photo. And will only upload pics that have not already been uploaded (unless you say otherwise). My parents have a Nikon 3200. Nice little camera, takes good pics, but the pic management software is a pig.
