I don't know where to begin :( My gf wants to buy a new camera, but i don't want her buying a **** one that'll wreck her head. So i look to you guys, for advice on a product with a few parameters.

My gf wants to buy a new camera, but i don't want her buying a **** one that'll wreck her head. So i look to you guys, for advice on a product with a few parameters.
Budget is about 150 euro,
Megapixels are irrelevant, less is more imo, it's a camera for nights out and parties in, and holiday photos.
A rechargeable battery is important, but if there's nothing out there with that option, i'll comprimise.
And user friendly software, as in it's shot in jpeg for easy file transfer and upload to bebook/myface.

Hope you guys can help,

Read the stickey at the top of the page: Link

I think any camera would suit you, Pretty much all P&S cameras have the abilitys you described, go to any shop, they'll give you demos and you'll know which one is easiest for you/GF

I have this:

Bit more than your budget but it takes great pics in all conditions. Also, enough manual over-rides to be useful. Good zoom. My second compact Fuji and I don't think you could go wrong. I can post some pics from it if you like?
