You mention a digital camera straight away which suggests you want one... And I'm sure that you can get a decent one for that! I'd always suggest a Sony, as I have one. But I hear Fujifilm and Canon are pretty decent too. Somebody may contest that, or add another brand, but for a point-and-shoot it doesn't matter so much anyway.

Canon are brill, as are Nikon but if you want just a point and shoot, a Sony will do want you want but Canon and Nikon will out do a Sony

yeah! hence the SOny in point and shoot is cool.. although my fuji point and shoot gets top quality shots too...
it's all down to personal preference I think... Wifey won't touch anything other than a Sony, I'd never touch a Sony cam.....

True, true. I love my Sony T2, but if I was looking for a DSLR I'd certainly check out other brands.
@Nitro1360: Give us an idea of what you already own, what you need, what you'd like and what you don't want. That way we can better suggest something to you!

Theres a D Slr (Fujifilm Classes it as that) that has mega zoom, with manual functions;
s5700 or the s700, you can buy one online for £108 - instore at jessops for £120. It has full P A S M priorities, with auto shoot, and if you're really into photography it has a tapered lens ring so you can add accessories.
S8100fd is what I use (http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/s/finepix_s8100fd/index.html)
For it's features, it's a steal as you should be able to get this unit for £200 or the lower model S8000fd for £170 - £180 (amazon).
These cameras are a bridge between point and shoot, to digital SLR's.
Alternatively you could buy a valuable accessory for your ipod and that's the Blueye bluetooth adaptor (with remote facility), it links up with your phone so that you'll never miss a call (you talk through the remote, voice dial, skip forwards, backwards, volume adjust with the remote). £40 hmv
Or if you really like your music, you could opt to get one of these top of the line in ear, earphones. If you like deep bass I recommend Ultimate Ear triple Fi (£179.99 on my memory) but if you like deeper bass, I'll go for the E500, Westone 3. These earphones isolate sound nearly completely if you use the right tips, they also offer replaceable cable too which are commonly available on the interweb.

well i've decided that i want a camera,
the main things i want is something that isn't too big and also that has good quality video recording and a lot of useful features.
the Panasonic Lumix Lx2 looks quite good,
any suggestions?
thanks
