I'm gonna ask Santa for a camera for chrimbo. As I've never had one before, therefore a bit of a camera numpty, I'm looking for any tips or thoughts.

The two that have caught my eye are these,

I'm sure either of them will fulful my needs, but please add any comments or recommendations for around £150.

We have one of the older versions of the Panasonic, and I really like it.

I would guess that there is a filter for www.amazon.co.uk in place.

Not sure what price they are going for at the mo.

We recently got a Canon IXUS80is which seems pretty good to me.
I've seen them in catalogues for £225 but we got ours of ebay for £1+postage

OK that was very lucky but shopping around should see you landing one for comfortably under a ton.

£95 on wedontmentionthatforumonthissite. I'm still very happy with mine.

That is lucky. Unless the postage was £199.99.
