I have a Fuji Finepix 40i and its brilliant. Small and very good quality pictures but without optical zoom. Not a current camera but if you can find one the price will be good. See my review here:

There's a review there of the 50i too.
The Fuji super CCD gives 4m effective pixels - thats 2400x1800 pixel pictures. If you shoot at that res, and normal compression you'll get about 80 shots on a 64mb card and they will print at A4 size and look like real photos. (Saving at fine compression halves the number of shots per card and makes no apparent difference to the printed quality on an Epson 1440 dpi printer). Smartmedia cards are cheap at the moment - less than £25 for 64mb and about £40 for 128mb
The Fuji 50i looks like the current version (only available from Dixons/Currys/PC World group) but the Fuji 401 looks like the logical successor, same resolution but with optical zoom.
Heres a good price comparison site.
