So - what don't you like?

The second one is a bridge camera so will be much chunkier to carry around with you, but will take better photos and has a much longer zoom, bigger flash, etc.
It's up to you whether you want something to put in your pocket with a small zoom, or something you'll have to carry round in a case but with bigger specs. If you go down the bridge camera route the Fuji ones are well thought of.

I just cant get the nikon to take decent pictures in low light, i have tried playing about with the settings but the always seem dark and blurred but the old Samsung one i had took great pictures in all conditions.
I am just looking for an easy to work camera and when i saw the bridge camera i had never heard of that.I dont know whether it would be too big to carry about day to day and if you could just set it up point and shoot , so i thought i would ask first.
