Present for OH - £200 & Pink!

[Ikemi]

I'm looking to buy a digital camera as a Christmas present for my OH - Her current Fujifilm camera is getting on a bit and the battery is completely knackered! I have a budget of approximately £200. I'm open to any suggestions, but the camera must be pink (or purple)!

Ideally I'm after a camera that can provide some decent quality shots (for a compact), as well as the ability to have some manual control over certain camera functions.

I've seen the Canon Powershot SX210IS (14MP, 14x Opt.) for £209, which also comes with £30 cashback - Just enough for a SDHC card and case

There seems to be lots of rave reviews on the SX210IS on Amazon, but equally quite a few that were unimpressed with the reproduction of skin tones, blurred images and the placement of the pop-up flash. One reviewer mentioned that he believed the CDD sensor was not capable of the 14MP resolution. Any thoughts?

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated! Cheers!

I have used park cameras a lot and they always offer fantastic service.

I'm biased towards Canon (always owned and used) but they do several pink point and shoots.

I have a sony cybershot w320 14mp easy to use around £160 it does come in pink as well as bogey green and i think its part of the sony vat refund scheme so will end up around 140 with the claim back

Other option is one of the Pansonic Lumix range

if this doesn't work the three I came up with in your price range are
DMC-FP1P
DMC-FH3P
DMC-FH1P

All broadly the same but slightly different pinks and also different degrees of compactness of body.
