Hi

I'm looking at getting a new compact camera to take on my pending Euro tour as I don't want to lug a DSLR and lenses around with me. I've been doing my research on t'internet and its left me none the wiser. Where one review recommends a camera, the next review slates it!!!! I have a budget of up to about 300 squiddlies, so any recommendations would be gratefully received. Ideally I would like something that allows me to have a good degree of control over the settings, i.e. shutter speed, aperture, ISO etc etc.

Thanks

DD
