Recommendation for a ~£150 digital camera

Hi, looking to buy a camera tonight online for the oxegen festival at the end of the week and holidays in the future.

Seen this on Amazon.co.uk, it is the number 1 seller:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000B66HG4/

But could I go for something cheaper as I dont really have any idea on how to compare details on them
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...t-25/-/560836/

Can anyone give me any opinions etc as I dont like buying something without carefully considering the options? Thanks

Don't forget to include the cost of buying flash cards and maybe a 2nd battery. The xD cards used in Fuji cameras are 2-3x more expensive than SD or CF, it can be a serious chunk of your £150 budget, especially if you need to handle entire holidays before downloading.
