Although a 12x zoom is good, I think they are a little expensive for me. I want to try and not go above £160-200 if possible.
3x zoom should be fine for what I would use it for.
I was looking at one of the Canon's earlier and Nikon cameras as I used to have a Nikon Coolpix but they seem to have got bulkier and plastic looking.
This Sony seems a better build.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is a very good 6mp camera with 12x optical zoom and well within your price range. Although it looks like a traditional 35mm type camera it is quite small and light apparently.
Also the Nikon S10 is a 7mp pocket sized (just) camera with 10x optical zoom - again available for under £200.
There's no substitute for optical quality so I'd recommend concentrating more on that than the ccd sensitivity since no amount of pixels will make up for a bad lens.
