The review for the canon looks good

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/digital-cameras/1281577/canon-powershot-sx130-is

When I was looking for a camera the sister inlaw told the wife canon are one of the best
And that either canon or Nikon would do
So I brought a canon and the picture quality is very good
I'm happy with my canon

Just to add a different flavour into the mix, take a look at the lumix range. My missus works at a wildlife park and takes some stunning shots with it...

look for an older model second hand/refurb... get more for your money.. new cameras just have pointless amounts of megapixels and features you don't really need. i bought a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX3 for my holiday in August for £125 including a really nice leather case, spare battery, all sorts and it's really great (does macro too although haven't tried it on the snakes yet!). It's not overloaded with gimmicks and it about 10MP.

This is an interesting read about megapixels - http://www.photoreview.com.au/guides/pocket-guides/digital-photography/How-Many-Megapixels-Do-You-REALLY-Need companies just keep making compact digital cameras with more and more megapixels because people will pay for more megapixels because they think it's better. :)

Can't go wrong with Fuji, I'd say One of my cameras is a Fuji S9600 bridge camera and I love it Bought it for bargain price as a refurb some years back.

Enjoy your new camera!
