Hi guys,i need to purchase a new digital camera so thought i would ask if anyone could recommend me a decent one.

Im looking for one with a big screen,3" would be best.

The Canon PowerShot SD630 Digital ELPH / IXUS 65 has caught my eye,what do you think???I can get it for £166.

Have a look here. 18 month warranty and probably the best prices on the web.

For that price you cant go wrong with the ixus 65. Its practically an ixus 60 (superb camera, dont know anyone with any gripes) minus the view finder and with a larger screen. Of course the downside is the larger screen will run the battery down faster so a cheap spare is a must.

For similar money there are a coupe of fuji/pentax/olympus cameras with 3" screens but in my opinion the canon wins hands down
