was thinkin of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 ??? or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 or the Nikon Coolpix P5000,

but i want a camera for low light (clubs and scenery) and with a reasonable zoom ??? max of £220 realy

any suggestions
 
Fuji S6500fd is good in low light. ISO goes up to 3200 which could give some interesting shots in a club and has good anti noise processing which makes it almost un-noticeable even up to an ISO of 800. It will cost you less than £200 and has 10.7x optical zoom.
 
the iso setting on a digital camera is designed to replicate the different speed 35mm fillms you could/can buy.

the higher the iso number the more sensitive to light the film, or digital camera sensor is. therefore at a high iso you can shoot without having to use the flash because the sensor is more sensitive to light, however this does have the drawback of introducing more and more noise into your photo the higher the iso setting.

the fuji s6500 is pretty good at dealing with this noise, but even at an iso of 3200 (and to a certain extent 1600) it struggles. a lot of cameras struggle at 800 iso, but the fuji seems to cope with it quite well.

there are several fuji s6500 owners around these forums so hopefully they'll confirm that i'm not talking a load of rubbish!
