What camera?

[doc3]

Hi

I haven't posted in this forum before, but hope one of you might be able to help, despite the amatuer level kit i'm looking for. My father's looking to replace his digital camera, and wants to spend <£150. Any recommendations? He currently has an IXUS 400 which he quite likes. I was thinking an ixus 70 might be good for him. Anyone know about the Coolpix S200? He quite likes that but i'm not convinced. Any thoughts/opinions would be much appreciated.

If he fancies taking a step up - try a Canon Powershot A710. It's just larger then a standard point and shoot, but includes some neat extras, not least being a manual mode. All other PowerShot owners I know all rave about them, however old they are.

I'm forever amazed at the quality of pictures from it

I've had an ixus in the past, and I feel there's a premium price paid for this kit...
