I am going to buy a new camera as my old one has finally given up. Just need some advice on which one to get? I only really want to spend aroud£150 and don't want somthing to bulky as it's a pain to carry round when on holiday.

I have just seen this on play what do you recon http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...archtype=genre

Thanks in advance for the help

By the way my old camera was a kodak easyshare dx4900

Mitford,
We had a slim type camera previously, decided to go for something a little better, it came 2 day ago.
I have to say, what quality compared to the last one we had, i went to wales yesterday, well abergele and decided to take a few pics.
Heres where i got my camera from and this model, below are some shots i took without reading manual, just using picture taking button, no settings, not had chance to play with them yet, but i was very happy with results, see what you think.
