please help iv been looking for weeks now!
the inlaws have asked for a new camera for christmas and i keep looking and looking but not getting anyware.

we have a MAX budget of £200.

they have asked for something with a large screen and 10 mega pix.
i don’t think there going to notice IQ that much but something not to complicated to use that starts up fast and is quick to take a shot with flash on and off and with a good IS
the models iv chose so far are,
Panasonic dmc-fp8.
Nikon s620.
Fuji f200 exr or f100.
these were picked on speed more than anything else.
am i on the right track?
 
Canon's Powershot SX200 approx £220 with £40 cashback from canon.

3" screen and 12.2mp, HD (720) vid recording and intelligent auto scene selection?

I always hear good things about the Powershots, missus has an older one, loves it :)

Here is a review, also has a link for being sold at £189.99

EDIT: A couple of threads on here about this camera, this seems the best of the bunch:

To be honest - (I'm asuming they're not photography mad) you could pick any one of many compacts and they will be happy.:thumbs:
 
thanks for the replys.
your right dinners but i keep picking cameras that i would want.
as for the canon i keep reading that they are slow with the flash turned on but are they going to notice?
they have an old olympus stylus 400 so i think anything will be fast!
