Hi guys, first post in this section. This may be a bit low-brow for you guys with the super-duper cameras, but I was really just looking for a nice cheap point and squirt camera that is capable of taking decent photos of watches (up close as well if possible) as well as regular holiday snaps and so on. Budget probably up to £150, but if there's something good under £100 that would be ideal.

Thanks in advance

dpreview just did a couple of group tests in exactly this area:

Well worth spending some time reading through those.

Excellent for the money, it even has a (poor but it's better than nothing!) optical viewfinder.

I'm quite a fan of the Canon Ixus range too. I've got a 75, and am going to gratuitously use this opportunity to post some pix from the past year.
