Yeah, title says it all. I need a digital camera for going on holiday at the beginning of June. I'd like it to be under £100 but my maximum would be £150 :). I would like it to be small as well, I don't want to carry something quite heavy around :P

Thanks for any help :D

Pentax Optio S7

Got it for £105 with 2GB SD card. that was at least half a year ago so the price will have dropped by now.

Fujifilm S5700

I highly reccomend it, and I used it for all my photography on www.darrentoogood.com. Its a great starter camera, however I have now moved onto a D-SLR.

Canon Ixus 70. Should be around your budget (way too tired to work out Australian - UK currency conversion now). I bought one from work, they are a fantastic camera.

Chaaa-ching? Surely? :S I don't see what could go wrong with it, it's a kodak, it's 12MP.. it's small?

Feel free to correct me though guys!

if you want a one where you can just pull it out and press the shutter then go for a fuji z10. However fuji's s range is better for quality .

Go for something that is a classic decent camera make. Nikon, Olympus, Cannon, Fuji - that sort of thing. Makes like Sony, Panasonic and Samsung are generally decent too. Remember megapixels isn't everything. Look for something around 6-8mp in your price range.
