    I need a camera for Uni, any advice?

    I'm entering my second year of a Multimedia Graphics course at uni which contains a bit of photography. I'm looking for a camera to suit my needs.

    Budget

    Around £60-£100.

    Size
    As long as it's not huge i don't really mind.

    How many megapixels will suffice for you?
    Around about 6

    What optical zoom will you need?
    Standard

    How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10)
    9

    Do you care for manual controls?
    Yes (I think, read below).

    General Usage

    What will you generally use the camera for?
    Still shots & the occasional actionshot

    Will you be making big prints of your photos or not?
    Not prints but will be manipulating using software such as Photoshop so a large image would be usefull.

    Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?

    Yes

    Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?
    Occasionaly

    Are there particular brands you like or hate?
    No

    Are there particular models you already have in mind?
    No

    I'd prefer a camera with a viewfinder so i don't have to rely on an LCD screen (saves on the batteries). Being able to adjust the apperture and f-stop would be nice but not absolutely vital.

    Thanks for any help.

    The A630 is nice, and is just under $200 limit. I've recommended that one to 2 co-workers and both loved it. (I had the discontinued A620 - which cost $100 more when new - at the time.)
