Hi Folks

Looking for a bit of advice here, my gfs parents are thinking to get her a camera for her birthday, and my job is to suss out models since I'm the 'arty one' :pac:.
I know a liiiiittle about photography but my skills are pretty rusty and were always focussed on SLRs so I don't really know what I'm looking for in a compact.
It needs to be point & shoot, comfortably pocket-sized, Mac-compatible & fairly straightforward to use. Bonus points if it looks cool I guess. Budget is 100-150 euro.

Any recommendations?

It's appears to be well priced, it's girly pink, it has lots of megapixels, it has movie mode -

Any chance of this being moved to one of the Tech forums please? I might get more answers there

Panasonic FS10 would fit the budget, nicely constructed (not too much plastic), decent spec and comes in black as well as pink
