Recommend me a digital camera please, ~£300

My old Fuji has decided to start taking nothing but brilliant white photos and seeing as it is out of warrenty I've decided to invest in a new camera

I'm a camera noob really so need advice on which to buy. I really like long exposure shots and captured some good ones with my old camera, like the one in this thread;

Budget at around £300, go!

Do you know if you can buy a tripod for the S70 or 80, I really need it to do long exposure photos?

Sony DSC H1, comes it at around 300 once you've bought memory, great little camera, check out the review and forums at dpreview.com.

I've been looking at that "little" beauty. That's probably its main drawback, it's HUGE. I really can't decide between something like an A620 or a DSC H1.

Right, I've narrowed it down between a Canon S2is and a Sony DSC-H1. Here they both are.

The spec on the canon seems slightly better, but there isn't much in it. Any other opinions from the experts?

Thanks for that King4aDay.

I think I may go for the H1. After shopping around it can be had for £40 less although sony memory will be a little more expensive. I'l order it off the net so if I have any problems I'l just send it back within 7 days and then try out the S2.
