You're both in, and out of luck with this:
The out of luck bit because even though Hoddesdon is a short while away, I have no idea of how to get to the Argos by train.
EDIT: I've reserved it anyway.

Thanks very much mate I really appreciate that, very kind of you.
Last night whilst I was looking at the camera, I found that one with a 4GB memory card included for £149.99, so £10 cheaper and a free memory card so don't think I'll be needing the argos one.
But thanks very much for reserving it
@ Voda, I only use the camera a few times a year mate, and I need a new one to take to florida with me, so need something that I can just slip in my pocket and carry around with me every day without it getting in the way.
Do you guys think it's worth paying the £150 for the ixus with 4GB memory or £121 for the olympus with 2GB memory?
Thanks

Was in Currys and comet today, didn't have of the models I want so I had a look at the one they recomended, which was actualy really nice and I thought, oh oh oh I want that.
It's the Sony T70
But then he showed me how to turn it on, by pushing the cover down, which in my opinion looks cheap and it sounds cheap when it snaps open (not like the sexy classy way the ixus opens up)
Also online, they say that the wide angle isn't that good, and quality of pictures in low light isn't that good.
So the only good thing really is the huge 3" touch screen on the back...apart from that it's awkward to hold and image quality isn't the best.
Here's a pic of it:
Think I have my heart set on the Canon Ixus 950 is now, hmm.

In regard to the Sony, I can say that the touch screen is really a cool feature. I have a T2 which is a slightly lesser specced model with a slightly smaller screen. I find the image quality in all lighting conditions is fine, because I am never going to even pretend to be an expert. I just want a good looking, decent performing, fun to use (touchscreen) camera.
I don't know how the sliding open the cover thing on the model you looked at seems 'cheap', but the mechanism on mine seems very solid, and overall the camera feels very sturdy.
I'm not going to pretend I know a lot about cameras, but for a very casual photographer (and no offense if I'm wrong, but you seem fairly casual too), the Sony range suits me fine. In my opinion they look the part too.

The Canon has the better reviews and design (IMO)
Infact i'd nab it if it were a tad cheaper...

thanks tranced!
get the canon that you are talking about the ixus 950 i think, its named different here in the states.
I have taken all these pics with that camera and i love it.
you get the picture
but that was the camera that got me into photography. Its real easy to use and i just upgraded to a rebel xsi, i keep the ixus for point and shoot and the new one for more serious pics

Wow great pics very high quality and pro. I love Sony cams but some have pointless gimicky features. Their lenses are great though and their processers. Argos are now having end of catalogue sale you can get great bargains now. I once bought online from them in sale a Panasonic DMCFX01 digital camera for £71.99. Its was over £250 when first came out. Great camera except problem with noise even in daylight.
