Default What £200 Digital Camera

Looking for a new camera, with specifically the choice between
1) an easy PC interface program
2) the ability to by pass the interface and just browse straight on

camera is for fun use indoors/outdoors and just needs to be a point and click style

Are there any online reviews/comparisons or current magazine articles

Scooby Jawa - what's your thoughts on the Optio series, I'm looking at the SV at the moment... Either that or the Sony w5

i found www.digital-cameras.com to have a good help section BTW

Pixmania are doing the Ixus50 for £211 which incidentally was part of a group test in PC Pro this month and won and is now on their 'A List' of products...

Good luck

I have the SV mate and TBH I'm pretty pleased with it. I've not had much time to play with it yet, but for its size (fits in the pocket lovely even on a night out on the beers!), the zoom (5x Optical ) and lense is pretty damn good. Only really used it on my recent hol in Greece so was quickly pointing and clicking and with no previous use of the camera.

Heres a few quick snaps:

Full Zoom

No Zoom to show distance

Random Beer Pic!

None resized, just as they came off the camera............
