hi guys,

I'm looking for a new camera. Preferably one that is like an slr but isn't. My price range is max £200.

cheers

Do you mean you want a bridge camera? What size prints will you need? Do you want to have full manual control? Zoom? Macro shots? RAW mode?

Jot down a few things that you'll need in a camera, then go searching.

Here are a few ideas anyway:
Fuji S7000, 6MP
Kodak P850, 5MP
Fuji S5600, 5MP
Olympus SP-500, 6MP

Also, try looking in your local cameras shops for second-hand deals. There are some good bridge cameras about, but which are discontinued now, and you may pick up a bargain that way.

Always read up on the cameras before you buy:

...are all good for reviews.

I would reccomend the Samsung V800. Had it for 6 months and no problems. Its 8MP and is easy to use. It can record video aswell as take photos.
You can get it at dixons for £149.
