[Nikumba]

Got a D90 but going away to the states so also want to get a small compact camera less than £100 what suggestions do people have?

Thanks

I am also looking for a compact camera at the moment, the ones keep appearing on review sites and such are:

Most Recommendations:

Nikon Coolpix S3100 £95
Canon PowerShot A1200 £92.95 (Now £60?)

Other Recommendations from Most Recommended Manufacturers:

Fujifilm Finepix T200 £96
Fujifilm Finepix JV200 £55
Panasonic Lumix DMC S3 £70
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 £?
Panasonic Lumix FS16 £99/*70*

Can anyone advise further on any of these models? I've never owned a camera before so not sure what to look out for or anything that can pick this lot apart?

I'm thinking I wont be able to tell the difference between them in terms of image quality, what do you reckon?

Will there be any that cause practical concerns i.e. battery life, storage space, ease of use?

I think most of the threads we've had like this, for compacts at that price point tend to suggest that you will find little difference between them.

Go in a shop, try them out, see which you like.
Read some reviews on the big camera review sites.
