Best Camera for ~£150

[Nick Smith]

I think i made a thread like this around a year ago, but obviously newer cameras will be out by now, so i made a new one.

I just want a decent camera for taking pictures generally, as at the moment the only i only have my camera on my K800i, which to be fair isn't that great...

So, what's the best i can get for ~£150 (i can go up to about £200 if needs be)

Thanks

Just got a Nikon P5100, had OK reviews when it came out, but it did cost £300 then. Absolutely cracking bit of kit for around £175, amazon do them. You can also get adaptor lenses that screw in to alter the focal length, they seem to go quiet cheaply on ebay. Jessops do them for £230, so you can have a play. It is a compact so will fit in resonable sized shirt pocket.

Any comments why this camera is best for this price range?

I'm kinda looking for something good with same price tag and optical image stabilizer.
Any other suggestions?
