I've been looking at what's available for a similar price and the one I've decided upon is the Canon A610 or A620. I've read various reviews and all are very positive. One of these reviews attached. The cheapest prices I've found are £200 for the A610 and £220 FOR THE A620.

UK Digital has the A610 for £189. I tried one but went for the A620 in the end, simply because I will use it for closeup and want the extra mp for possible cropping, otherwise either is just as good.
