I need a digital camera

Looking to buy something to use on my travels.

I don't have a massive budget, say £70 tops and need a compact digital camera.

It needs to be decently better than my camera phone (HTC Desire) - really all I need probably is some optical zoom (which the 'phone can't do).

I would like to be able to carry this in shorts or jeans pocket.

Would like image stabilization to minimise shake while in zoom mode.

Lastly, I would prefer if I could get 720p video recording (while still being able to use the optical zoom). Full HD isn't necessary.

Thanks in advance.
