Internet Camera Firms

I'm after a new digital camera and, after a bit of research, I've more or less decided on the Canon Digital Ixus 50. Jessops charge about £250 but it is available much more cheaply on the Internet. However, checking around gives me some concern about spending so much with firms whose customer care is likely to be less than perfect.

Pixmania looked a possibility about £210. I wasn't too worried about the manual in French or the continental mains plug, but googling on +pixmania +problems is enough to make you avoid them like the plague.

Dabs were equally cheap but searching on this forum suggests that we have yet another firm that, when things go OK, is very good but, when you have problems, often don't want to know.

If I'm going to spend this much, I really would like to deal with a firm that has some concept of customer care. So, any suggestions for a decent Internet firm that deals in cameras; it needn't be rock bottom prices, just reasonably cheaper than the High Street.
