High quality compact - Preferably not exceeding £300

Another vote for the XZ-1. Goes with me everywhere now

Great camera

Couple of downsides:
Not pocketable like s100
The dial control for m,a,s etc is easily nudged

Would like to go with the s100 and compare but IQ is awesome on zx-1

Just a little update on the P300. It's been great, and since I bought it, it's been to Amsterdam, Berlin, Poland, Venice, Iceland and Japan and performed admirably. Obviously it's no match for my A57, but I've generally been pleased with the results; I've been especially impressed with its ability at night (for a compact!).

I'm glad that you have been happy with your choice and have been making a lot of used out it by the sounds of it.

And thanks for the update, so many don't bother.
