Unfortunately I don't have any money to put towards it, I'm saving all of it for when I'm out there 
The problem I've got is that there's just so much choice in my price range..
I Think I've narrowed it down a bit, what does everyone think:

To be honest, I think I'll need the advanced zoom after the trip, my girlfriend (who I'm going with) has a panasonic FZ8 (coincidence??) which has the 12x zoom, and will be similar to any camera I get with regard to the other statistics. So I feel like the extra zoom will be useful to both of us, there's no point us taking identical cameras...
Sorry if it looks like I've completely ignored some advice here, I've taken it into account
Thanks again everyone, some really good ideas coming up
