What compact digi?

[virgil]

Hello chaps, new here so sorry that the first thing I do is ask for advice, but here we go...

I'm lookig for a good quality compact.

Requirements are quality of output, viewing screen size and ease of use over price, along with being able to keep it in a pocket.

I know some cameras are slow to operate, both on start up and in between pictures. Want to avoid this.

Don;t mind payig up for one - almost hard to find one over 300quid now anyway it seems...
What do I look for? any recomendations?

Casio seem to have a nice 12mp one (something 1200) and so do sony (W-200?)

Oh, and if one happens to have a dedicated U/W housing, then even better!

Any others to look for??

Cheers,

Virgil.

I run around with the Sony W200 in my pocket and work laptop bag and it's a great bit of kit too
