I am after something up to around £120 or so.
I would like something that takes good pictures, especially in lower lite conditions. I have an old Kodak Easyshare Z730. It takes quite good picture sin good lite, but at the slightest hint of fading lite, and they are dire. The flash overpowers, and all the pictures look naff and washed out.
I do not want an SLR, and not too fussed about size as long as it isnt a brick.
Im thinking of looking through Argos, and going to get one today. There is one quite local. Or, is there somewhere better I should go and worth ordering online?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have a look in the Photography Forum there are quite a few threads on this subject.

ETA: A tad slow there me thinks!

Bought an Easyshare Z series & managed to get an Epsom photo printer too - together only cost us about £140-£150

Fuji shop are fantastic, they have refurbished cameras for sale, the vast majority are just returns from shops/catalogues.
They are fully tested with 6m fuji guarantee with options for extended warranties.

I bought a finepix S8000fd 18x zoom, was just like brand new paid £120 last summer and has been fantastic, a halfway house between a SLR and a compact.
Looking on their website I notice a S2000HD 15x zoom for £148 which seems fantastic value for money, especially that it has a near HD video capability built-in even whilst zooming.

Canon use eBay to sell off refurbs etc: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Canon-Outlet

An excellent place for reviews is dpreview - they recently did a series of reviews on compacts:

I ended up getting an Olympus FE 3000 after a couple of mates let me look theirs over.
The low lite shots are brillint. They are to my untrained eye anyway.
Most impressed.
Thank you for the suggestions.
