Hi

I'm going to Dubai later this year and was wondering how much cheaper digital cameras are out there. I'd be looking to possibly get either a 4m or 5m pixel camera (sony, canon, etc). Would there be compatability problems bringing it back to the UK?

Dunno about compatibility, but get one by a company who traditionally make cameras, rather than electrical equipment.
Get a Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc. rather than Sony, Panasonic etc.
The lens (and therefore the image projected onto the CCD) will be better.

shouldnt be any issues. I just bought a sony p92 in the US and the charger has one of those power cords which can be pulled out and swapped for one with a UK plug. It also has TV out and that allows you to select pal/ntsc.

I wonder what your qulifications are for making that statement. I have a Sony Digital camera and have had it for several years now. The lens is by Carl Zeiss, and is superb.
If you have information that backs up your statement please share it with everybody.

If you want comprehensive reviews of digital cameras take a look here

Be a bit careful on the power issue. Some cameras do have chargers that are hard wired to a non-UK style plug. This is easy to get round as long as the charger supports 220/240V
