    for small snapshots it might be worth just getting a good phone with a 5 megapixel autofocusing camera in it (ala the Nokia N95 and its successors). All in one convergence and you'll always have it with you.

    I was in the same position I got a Pentax Optio S10 around €150
    I think it's awsome (I am a newbie so have a good look around ;))
    Cheers

    The stylish 10-megapixel Optio S10 is the latest model in the popular Optio "S" series, and offers many powerful features, like digital Shake Reduction and a high-speed Face Recognition AF&AE function for fast, high quality portraits. The Optio S10 is the seventh DivX Certified® digital camera from Pentax. Now enhanced with digital Shake Reduction, the DivX format enables users to create high-quality video files that may be played back on a wide-variety of DivX DVD players and other devices. The Optio S10 is one of the smallest, lightest 10-megapixel digital cameras in the world.

    The Optio S10 is not to bad, if you do get one make sure to get decent quality SD card, Sandisk Extreme or similar. I bought a S10 as a pocket camera, wasn't mad about quality of Photo's. My daughter now uses it as I wasn't happy with the results. I now have a Canon G9, it's 10 times better camera, though not the most compact and certainly not cheap for a compact (more semi compact).

    I also use a Nikon D200 and I must say the G9 get's way more use than the Nikon, its very versatile camera, gives you the control and is 'reasonably' compact. G9 tag on Flickr

    Argos currently have the canon A560 for 99 euro. It is not the latest model but if you search for reviews you'll find it gets pretty good reviews. It also has what I consider a plus in that it has an optical viewfinder.
