the mrs and i are after a new camera, want something decent that's going to last. now she's quite into her photography so would like a slr type thing BUT 1. i don't think we can afford that and 2. its for us both to use and i like something i can use with minimal fuss.

got a budget of around £250 so can anyone recomend something or give advice on what i should be looking for?

cheers
john
