Good price. Decent spec. It's a Nikon.
Looks like a bargain to me.
Check around to see if you can find any reviews anywhere.
10MP is plenty enough for most photography. And it has a very decent optical zoom length.Cool, retro and sometimes downright rude MTB and cycling themed T shirts. Just MTFU.

Eh? I don't get it? But if you have some ale going spare there's a mouth here that's more than partial to a drop.0 -

Two reasons, in the sun you won't be able to see the screen properly and two standing with a ruddy big camera out infront of you will make you shake and take crap photos?0

i bought a fuji finepix s1500 for the wife and it is a similar looking bit of kit, its so easy to useand takes nice shots. they go for about 110 quid on ebay. has a neat feature for taking panorama shots meaning you can stitch 3 pictures together using the scren or viewfinder.
has a viewfinder which i didint realise the advantage of but aparently its good to brace the camera against your head for more clear pictures.0 -

Point 1 is true.
Point 2... just hold it steady. Which you have to with and SLR anyhoo. I take perfectly good pics with my compact under most conditions.
For a viewfinder you'll need a DSLR or one of them fancier compacts with a digital viewfinder.
But for £125 it looks a good deal. Can't go wrong at that price.
I notice the site is selling Nikon D40s for £275. But these are only 6MpCool, retro and sometimes downright rude MTB and cycling themed T shirts. Just MTFU.

I can see the screen perfectly fine on my Samsung in all weather, it's not a super shiney surface and the whole shakyness isn't true, most cameras these days have built in anti-shake (well mine does) which can tell when you are shaking it and it'll somehow make the pic not blury.
Quite clever.0 -

For some reason, I read the topic title as "advice needed from CAMRA types, not CAMERA types

You can get a brand new Fuji 1500 for around £110 - just google for sellers. If you check at WhatDigitalCamera Click Here they award the Fuji 88% and the Nikon L100 76%. The Nikon you've linked to is £121 for a refurbished one.
I'm about to take the plunge for the Fuji
