    Similar model D580 (4M pixel instead of 3) from Olympus gets good review on Steve's Digicams. I think it would be a good choice for a first camera, and the price is fair. It is an older model (ie only about 12 months on the market!), but that's why the price is low.

    With a set of rechargeable Ni-Mh AA batteries & charger (£13.99), a larger capacity (say 128Mb) XD memory card (£9.99), and a case (£6.79) from www.7dayshop.com, you will have a good start in digital photography for around £110.
