Yes, I just saw this one on HUKD! Thank you! How reliable is the cashback thing?
Before this, it was a choice between the Samsung PL211 as in here:

I could have got it for £78 from Homebase, but I took too long deciding and they have stopped their 20% off code.
And second choice was the Fujifilm T200, same price:

Both get excellent reviews from photography sites, and the 10x zoom is a great bonus! I'm veering towards the Samsung because of 3" screen (and yes, looks! lol).
Aaah decisions....0 -
I have suggested it somewhere else....You can go for Panasonic DMC FS 16. Here is the link from Amazon:

Bump! Out of the 2 in my post #14, which one would you go for please?
I like the zoom, and they both get excellent reviews for image quality.0 -
I quite liked the Fuji's I've had in the past, Colours seem to be quite strong, and not wishy washy. Have a little Pentax A10, an Olympus C4040 and a Praktica, for most part at this level one should concentrate on the lens quality and not the number of mega pixels, so going for a Canon, Nikon, Panasonic and you should not go far wrong.
Remember that some of the most memorable and well know photo's are because of what they captured and not the camera. Learn the basic rules of things like 2/3rd's in placing your subject, not taking staged formal groups of people etc and you will find you get great photo's with any camera, even a phone!My Mind wanders, if found please return.0
