Best digital camera under £125?

Hi, I'm know very little about how good digital cameras are. I'm aware of the megapixel count, however have been told the lens is the important thing. I'm looking for a really good digital camera which will not only take great snaps, but also capable of recording video (up to 2 minutes).

I've been recommended the Canon 70 / 75.
I've also seen this:

Can anybody tell me which one is better, or if there's another camera which betters these two? I'd rather pay £100 and less, but can stretch to £125 if its worth it.

Thanks in advance!

Consider this model.

Specs and reviews here and here.

There's also £30.00 cashback on this model from 20th March to 31st March, so a great saving there.

For that budget if you want something small that fits in your pocket then this well reviewed Fuji F40 for £99 inc delivery from Play is a mega bargain.

Highly rated on a few sites including Trusted Reviews
