If your local Argos still has any in stock then the Fuji S5600 is a bargain for £112.

Great find with the Fuji I'm looking for a camera and that seems super cheap at that price.

Maybe, but beware, it's littered with cheap rip off's. I brought a 1gb Sandisk SD card from UK seller, turned out to be a duff, I rung Sandisk who took the serial number and said it was a knock off.

[Zippeyrude]

The camera looks sweet but with the battery pack and a case its hitting 200 quid.

what pixel size do you guys set ur camera too?

I dont think I really need a 8 mega pixel camera because the image comes out too big and size is around 2mb. This is a hassle when you want to email pics to people.
