Question Better camera than the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR for £150?

Is there a better camera than the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR for £150?

Slightly off-topic, but it's a shame the videos it produces are 640x480 mono.

Better for what? All round? Zoom range? Low light capability? Weight? Size? Flash performance?

Sorry, I meant all round. I'll use using it for general photography (macro etc.) and nightclub photos.

Might be worth checking out the Panasonic DMC-TZ6 and the Fuji F70 EXR. I don't know how much they are but they should be around the same sort of price and both are pretty good.

The F70EXR has a smaller censor, so the image quality isn't as good. The zoom is nice but again, smaller censor. I'll have a look into the Panasonic DMC-TZ6.

It sensor is smaller on the F70 but the impact on image quality isn't only about sensor size.

Personally I'm a big fan of the TZ range from Panasonic. I don't know if the TZ6 will fall into your price range but do check it out.
