I was really happy with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8 'til I lost it. The FX10 can only be an improvement on it. It's got Leica lenses as well so that's a bonus and you can get it for around £115 now.
Or if you want to spend more, a Lumix DMC-TZ3 is a great camera. It's what I'm currently using, has 10x optical zoom, max ISO 3200 and a 3" screen. Have to give it a 10/10 on construction, as with every other Lumix camera I've owned/used!
Lumix are great cameras. I was considering getting one of these myself, but I thought they were too bulky and I got the Kodak V610 instead!

I'd say you made a mistake not buying one then...
Can't say I'd go and buy from a different brand unless I go for a DSLR or something.

I would take the W35 anyday imo. it has the best battery life and has optical viewfinder even though it's so compact compared to the list you provided. and yeah Carl-Zeiss isn't just name, it's quality. I always take some pictures under strong sunlight and sunlight flares are not an issue when using cameras with Carl-Zeiss lenses  especially since W-series has one of the best implementation of carl-zeiss of all the Sony cameras i've used. before Sony decided to use Sony lenses for their S-series and leave Carl-Zeiss in that series. and in fact i've compared a Sony W30 to a Canon IXUS 60 and the images came out pretty the same(sharpness, Colors, contrast and dynamic range). with W50 having higher contrast but Canon held the edge in more natural colors

None of those is a really good camera. Look into Sony T100, T50
too expensive, better get a Cybershot H9 camera for that price or the T200 with smiley shutter and touchscreen

@salih - If I were you I'll just CHOOSE ONLY between these brands: Nikon, Canon, Olympus . . . and perhaps - KODAK !

i wouldnt touch a sony personally. had a t20 and it was the biggest pile of rubbish. currently use a panasonic tz3 and a fuji f30.
personally id pick in that range the fx10 that aiden posted or look at a lower canon ixus 70/75?.
or maybe look at the olypmus mju 820 which is another great camera, has a nice big bright screen, 5x optical and a great lens

Not sure on your budget but these are the dogs...

the newer version even better with proper "raw" mode, full manual control, which is rare for a compact

that camera is never meant for serious photography but for fun mate(talking about the T20) if you want a sweet performer then look for W-series. as i said they have one of the most well-implemented lens designs afterall i recoment the author to get W30/W35 as they are pretty cheap now and they offer excellent image quality par on ixus from canon |

@razec - thank you, I was planing to do that, W35 seems like a nice camera, and I'm used to Sony colors. One more thing it will be cool to have cyber-shot phone & a cyber shot camera, although I know they don't have anything incommon when it comes to quality of photos.

@razor - For me ha . . . for me only, Sony Digicams are just like a GOOD(er) version of the Casio Digicam . . . when it comes to buying digicams, I heavily rely on tested ones thru the DECADES  and that's: Nikon and Canon (though this one was already in use during the FIRST World War) . . . Honestly, I like Kodak too (a BIT yellowish with the image-outcome but NICE hue !) despite they are bein' known for making FILMS back then . . .

Yeah i also love nikon and canon cameras, but in fun, design and innovations i prefer cybershots especially the T-series like the new T2( and oh i love the Z610 like finish indeed! and the "grin" shutter  click! ) anyway everybody has it's own tastes so there's always differences
Happy Halloweeen matey!!!
