Decent quality compact...

...At a sensible price?

I do most of the photography here at work, using a couple of SLRs and lenses, which is fine. However, it's been mooted that another member of staff (not a photographer) should have permanent access to a camera for snapshots and documents when I'm not available for whatever reason.

So, I need a nice simple compact with a decent lens and Auto mode, preferably somewhere between £100 and £150. I was having a look at the Panasonic Lumix FS62 'cos I've used an LX3 and been well impressed. Any opinions? Suggestions?

Cheers!

I bought a Panasonic TZ5 a couple of months ago - it produces reasonable results, big rear screen - but its hard to see in bright light. images are sharp - but don't have that great a 'bite'. Slightly disappointed in the lens really - hoped it would be better. Video is poor in bright light. Very easy to use though. Battery seems to last an age as well. Close ups are pretty good. 8/10 overall really.
