Hi I'm looking for suggestions for an Xmas present for my sister. Needs to be quite small, but good spec. But I don't know much about the best brands and lenses..

I've seen:

That SH-21 looks good. I'm after a £100 compact too.

You just added another to my list

Yea the sh21 does look good. Reviewed as 3/5-4/5 really but that was at a launch price of £180!

Search for DMC-SZ1EB-K on the rainforest site. I'd have that one for the price.

Yes, but the sz1 has a 16mp CCD sensor and the sh1 has a 16mp CMOS with HDR. To me that seems better as i have been told that CMOS are better sensors than CCD.
