Yep, this one is new and comes with full guarantee. I won't be printing out any pics, and it will mainly be used down the pub for drunk photos and the odd photoshop effort.
Can any one suggest another camera for the same sort of money?

by the way its completley useless down the pub without a flash
even digi cameras 5 times the price find it heavy going without bright light or a strong flash.

Yep, that seems to be everybody's opinion, but i'm yet to see a better offer which keeps being mentioned.
I need to give a decision today so if anyone can show me the light, i would appreciate it

Buy it for gods sake!! Do you need to ask SN when to go to the loo???

Why no-one here would buy it is the same reason we don't buy a Skoda ............ its good at what it does BUT its NOT what we want!!

Buy it if it does what you want, but don't complain when you find out that a £100 digital camera is pants!!

I've just found out, the above link is the wrong camera. The right one is here. I completely missed the point that the first Camera didn't have a flash, This one however, does. I've done a quick search and the cheapest i can find it for in this country is £137.
Luke, you mention that i can have a much better Cam for £20 or £30 more, can you throw some examples my way?
Apologies for being such a novice
