For those without a bank balance of vast proportions.........

I recently bought a Fuji Finepix S3500 for £120 plus bigger picture card. 4 meg pics, 6 times optical zoom (39mm to234mm) Looks like classic SLR with loads of bells and whistles. Produces brill pics in all situations. More than adequate for general web use (see perhaps some of my latest postings) and for ordinary prints.
Cheap too. Burn CD and take to Asda, nearly 300 prints for under £20.
