Cameras for about £250

[john185k]

Hi there, had a search if this has been talked about before (it probably has) however i would like a new camera for about £250 or so... upto 300 if its worth it.

I had a Kodak z740, which actually took some decent quality shots for what it was £170 a year ago however i have never had such poor customer serice from Kodak, and they have eventually given me a refund of the money.

Not expecting a DSLR or anything like that, but something substantial that has 6mpixels or more plus 10xOptical zoom would be good.

Any suggestions (apart from kodak) Ta

Fujifilm F30 or new F40

F30 is now about £150 from Amazon.
Excellent review of it on dpreview.

If you haven't already done so get over to dpreview and have a gander through their review. Exceptionally informative....

I've raved about my Canon PowerShot A710 a bit already on here, but for less then £200 you can't go wrong!

6x Optical zoom I'm afraid, Image Stabiliser, you can add extra lenses, fully manual mode - loving it
