Which Camera

Hi,

Some friends are going to dubai very shortly and as cameras are duty free out there I thought I would ask them to pick up one for me..

Now I am a total noob to the world of photography but recently have been looking around forums reading several bits of info and I am very impressed....

What camera would you recommend for around £200 or more to help me learn the basics as well as be useful at intermediate and advanced levels?

I don't know if thats possible but I thought I would ask the experts....

Thanks in advance for any responses I recieve....

P.S. a colleague suggested the canon A620 what are your thoughts? however treat me like a blank canvass :-)
