Compact Digital Camera <£200 In Stores

[nc7r]

I'm going on Holiday on Monday and have left it stupidly late to arrange buying a camera for it.

I bought a Canon IXUS 75 from Currys for £129.99 and I'm not sure on how much I like it. The picture quality is average and I think there might be better out there. I'm not too bothered about spending a little more money to get a much better camera.

Any input would be really helpful, and local stores only (Meadowhall or town centres) because I've only got tomorrow and the weekend!

Thank you!

My friend had a Kodak V1253 (which is the second from top model in Kodak's V range)

It has High defintion video, (and I was quite surprised by the quality it came out with), lots of handy picture tools including a panoramic setting, in which you take 3 photos of a landscape and it joins them together to make one big picture.

Picture quality can also be up to 12mp (depending on quality to storage ratio).

I say he had, beacause he thinks it either got stolen or lost at the Foo's gig, which it was a shame because it was such a nice camera.

As well as the fact how the whole display and layout of the camera is amazing its got a 3.1 inch viewing screen.

I think the next model up is touch screen and some other functions, but this one is a damn bargain.

He managed to get it for £129.99 from Dixons, Currys, or PC World.

Panoramics (I couldn't get the full quality ones from him)

As you can see in the second one, the stitching isn't as smooth but you get the idea.

And the last one was just a normal photo (on 6mp I think, and copied directly from his facebook so the quality isn't exactly amazing)
