Can anyone give advice on the best digital camera to buy around £200?

Best options so far include Panasonic FX100 and Ricoh Caplio R7. If anyone has any suggestions I would be most grateful.

You may also want to consider List G9. It supports RAW and external flash.

My son just makes bubbles with handsoap from the toilet…

But nex summer on our road trip to portugal we really really gonna try this :

found some fascinating tips here : homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/explore/bubbles.htm

6 cups water (Distilled is best)
3/4 cup corn syrup (Karo Light)
2 cups Joy (or Dawn) dish washing liquid

Mix collectively. Let set 4 hours (to let bubble settle), then delight in.

Any solution you make at home is 10 times as potent as the store-bought stuff. Vendors water it down so you always have to buy more. Here are two recipes:

12 Cups of water
1 cup Dish Soap (Buy a brand name hand dish washing soap, not dishwasher soap.)
3 tablespoons of glycerin (in lotion aisle of drug supplies)

If you want to make a MUCH larger batch:

4 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket
6 cups of dish soap (Buy a brand name hand dish washing soap, not dishwasher soap.)
1 cup of glycerin

It needs to be easily shoved in my pocket. I’m not a pro, but I want high quality and excellent battery life.

basically something to carry around whenever to take pics of friends and random things.

CNET is usefull, but everything just average out around a 7.2 and I can’t really tell the difference at that point.

I don’t have the answer for you, as I use primarily digital SLR’s but if you haven’t checked out the reviews and buying guide on dpreview.com, that should be your first stop. The reviews are much more in-depth than CNET, and they have a clever guide where you can enter all your vital criteria and the site suggests a list of cameras that meet persons criteria.
