Camera advice...

[naxalite0906]

I already made a thread in the how to forum, but I thought this might be a good place to post it too. I hope you don't mind.

I just wanted to see if anyone could reccommend a fairly cheap/lightweight camera that I could use for trips abroad etc. I am no photography expert, but obviously I would like something that still produces good quality pics (especially with scenery etc when I am travelling) but is also quite easy to use and has a number of useful features too.
Someone said the panasonic Lumix ones are quite good, but I wanted to see if there was anyone on here who could offer more advice as to which are the best cameras to get etc.
I am looking to spend no more than £130 tho (around 250 us) as my budget is quite tight. Like I said, I am no expert, but I would like something that is value for money and does the things I need it to at a decent quality. I do go away in 10 days, and ideally I would like to get one before I go.

Thanks for your help
