Default Cheap camera?

I go on my jollies in 4 weeks and I have decided to buy a cheap camera. Has anyone got any opinions on these two cheap ones, or are there any better options? I don't mind paying up to £140 but I refuse to pay more than that as I think compacts are cheaply made and don't last long.

The Samsung does have more optical zoom,Canon has a manual over-ride which can be useful.I have 2 canon cams and are great cameras.

A bit over the £140 budget, but a cracking little camera I'm told....
