I have a Canon 350D which is a great SLR camera. I bought it last July for £360 and it's really easy to use. The 18-55mm kit lens is pretty naff so I bought a 70-300mm f4-5.6 Canon lens for sports/equine photography and it was pretty good.

I work for a pro show photographer and this camera has taken me all the way from beginner to pro... I've just bought a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens which cost twice what the camera did but it's fantastic- theres some photos in the PG- Chyverton ODE XC.

If you're not looking for SLR, the Fuji S5700 is very good for £130... it's halfway between point and click and SLR photography. I had the older version of it and produced some fantastic jumping photos with that.
 
I have the S5700 which I paid about £130 for I think. It takes very nice photos

Can't change the lenses or anything but it has got a 10x optical zoom on it which is fab

Yep it retails at £650. I got mine from the guy I work for, for £300.

You won't go wrong with either camera. The S5700 is good if you don't want SLR, the 350D is great if you do.
 
i had a similar dilemma recently - like you i wanted something small easy to use for just general point and click photos - with some action shots?
I got the CasioEX-Z75
costed 85/95 pounds off amazon, bought a £2 memory card as well and haven't looked back. love it to bits and its dirt cheap :P
the sports mode is really good too, and i've plenty of examples of pics i've taken with it if you want to see.
