Maybe a little late, but the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62 recently got a Recommended award at Trusted Reviews for £100:

I haven't used that particular model, but I've had a Panasonic LX1 for the past 3.5 years and had no problems with it, very nice camera to use and great quality.
Hi,
If you have not bought one already, please don't buy the Nikon S200/S225.
I won a Nikon S225 in a Jessops prize draw and received it a couple of days ago, it does not have any sort of battery life indicator, seems a crazy omission.
