We currently have a photographer that comes in every Thursday who takes all of are car images for our website.

We need to purchse a camera that will be used by sales executives (so not too complicated)and takes good interior and exterior shots.

It can cost no more that £150 and we must be able to buy it in Asda/Tesco/Morrisons/Jessops today.

I'm thinking this:

We cannot buy online or second hand, the price is not negotiable and we need to purchse it this afternoon.

Any ideas?

I'm sure it'll be perfectly fine. Fuji used to use Foveon sensors which give a higher dynamic range (difference between dark and light - ideal for dashboards with a windscreen next to them) but I can't see if this one has one.

I'd get one that goes a touch wider than 28mm if I could, and I'd ideally want one with an easy way of doing exposure compensation - dark interiors against light exteriors / windows will fool the meter, but this may do that.

I cut my digital teeth on Fuji bridge cameras (funnily enough taking stock pics for dealer websites) and whilst I don't know that particular model it's exactly the sort of thing I'd have suggested. Useful zoom, quality optics and a big enough sensor to capture colour and detail. Go for it.

WRT price, you might find a deal on http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/ but it's mainly online prices there not high street like you need.
