£200 pound camera

[borich_planner]

I have a budget of £200 for a new digital camera for my upcoming Honeymoon. I

Not really into photography just one good clear photos (point and click) what do you suggest?

Fuji XF1 from Currys at £129, nothing comes close for the price.

I'd probably buy an XF1 just because it looks ace. I have no idea what else is around this end of the market. This looks a reasonably helpful starting point - http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/120...he-best-pocket-cameras-available-to-buy-today

I've got one and they are fantastic.

They've got a larger than norm 2/3" sensor (do not confuse with a 1/2.3" sensor!), 25mm lens and f1.8 on the wide end. Plus manual barrel zoom, dual dials and Fuji's ace EXR modes for some fun!

The only quirky bit is how it turns on / off but you soon get used to it.

Panny LX7 for £225 from DigitaRev might be a temptation as well, but it is a pretty big chunk of change more.

I need to spec some cameras for work and the XF1 looks good, but I'm afraid this would freak people out.

At the price I'm tempted for myself though. Haven't bought a compact for nearly a decade.

Pentax MX1 has some good write-ups - around £220 mark

I'm in the market for a similar priced camera to the OP for my mum.
I want something for action shots(fast moving grandkids)

I was looking at the panasonic TZ40. How does that compare to those mentioned above?

Picked up an XF1 today as an alternative to carrying the Dell. Impressed so far, especially for the money, and it's a pretty little thing. Have still to play with the EXR modes...
