We've got a pentax optio 555 which we bought in australia. It is superb. 8x zoom 5 megapixel. Can't rate it highly enough. If you can get it in the uk do so.
We bought a 512mb memory card, spare batt, case and the camera for $1000 approx £450. Worth every penny. We had just started a 3 month hol of aus and nz. Filled three cd's with photos!
This was over about 18months ago so should be a lot less than what we paid. You can also get smaller memory cards. I know the 128meg card was approx £80 cheaper.
Hope this helps

From my experience Fuji are the easiest to use, and have the easiest software.
I am onto my second, just bought a S3500, 4m Pixels, 6x optical and 4 times digitalzoom.
Bought mine duty free, at work, £198, and it seems great

Cheers Nic!
Not too fast at typing,Hence slow reply,sorry.
Does the Fuji download directly onto your commputer?
forgive me if I'm wrong but is it called pictbridge?and if it is'nt what is it called?is pictbridge a camera with it's own mind that does'nt need software to put pictures into your pc?

Our Fuji came with a disc to install all that was needed A simple plug in connection between the camera and a computer port is also provided. If I can use use it anyone can!!!. I did see in the press over the weekend some good offers in Curry's or Dixons. Much reduced bet £80 and £130 depending upon spec. HTH Simmo

Mine's a Canon digital Ixus400. Thats a 4 megapixel jobbie and a great little camera. I find it easy to use and its easy to use sofware that comes with it too.

hi there
pictbridge.....this is a new 'thing' for newer photo printers. the camera sets the printer up so the colours should be more accurate. btw the way, i use a older nikon 775 2m camera. photos are still good from it and is easy to use.

Recently bought a Canon EOS 300D for £550 with a 1gb memory card thrown in.
So easy to plug in to your PC , and downloading is simple.
Picasa 2 is a very good simple storage and filing system , download it
from the Net ( It's free ).

I use a Nikon Coolpix 995 ( now superseded by the 4500 ) and know several people who use other Coolpix models. I find it easy to use and download but you can, if you wish, make it more complicated with the settings menu. They are very versatile.

Thanks for all the info guy's
I've plumped for the olympus c170 and a 128 card to go with it! at £99 it's a good deal and I can pick it up tommorow,so I should have a picky of my new wheels on the car by tommorow night(so long as I can get my Mars bar fingers round the buttons by then  )
Tell you what,it took a lot of head scratching cause I've looked at everyone mentioned!
Thanks all
