Canon A460. It's a nice little compact that fits nicely into your price range.

I don't have exact advice on a camera at that price I wanted to say megapixels and picture quality don't have too much to do with each other btw.

I picked up a Fujifilm F20 for £79 in a large supermarket the other day, and am pretty impressed with it for the money.

The on board memory can only hold a few shots, so remember to budget for a memory card aswell, 2 gig can be had for £25 which should hold plenty of shots (what I'm about to order)

Anywhere selling cameras will be a competitor and thus against the rules to mention.

I didn't mean to explicitly mean the actual retailer, just a hint like the guy in this thread that said "supermarket" which then narrows down a search!!

Quoted for truth.

I've been there and done that. It's not nice looking at a forum for a week knowing darn well you can't reply!

IVe now sold the nikon and am looking for another cam. I thought the shutter lag was rubbish and it was slow going through pictures. I too am looking at cams in the £80 range again
