Just my 2p: If I was buying today, I'd be looking for one with an 'old-fashioned' viewfinder. I bought a Panny Lumix 12mb (DMC FX-550) about a year ago (~£200 IIRC). It got very good reviews, but I find the LCD screen is absolutely rubbish for shooting panoramas. It's fine for shooting snapshots of your mates in a well-lit room, but once your outside (especially when the sun is out), and you want to take a picture of an object that doesn't fill the screen, it's pot luck, as you really can't see what you're taking a picture of.
