Page 1 of Camera choice help?

I know this should go in the Photography forum but to be perfectly honest I didn't even know it was there until I went to create a new thread!

Ok, I'm looking for some advice on a decent easy to use camera - SLR's look good but I really have no idea what I'm doing and have just made do with a digital one before now. This one is a wedding present and we're going to New York for the honeymoon so I'd like to get some really great pics to remember.

Budget is around £200 - £300 and as I say the simpler the better really as it will likely be used for when doing touristy things where I need to take a quick snap and don't want to spend ages looting through lenses etc.Any help to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated - with the wedding in less than 4 weeks I'm running out of spare time to spend hours on various shopping sites trying to guess what the specs mean :)

A personal opinion but I'd have one of these if I had the dosh.
Small enough that you'll take it with you (An SLR you'd be liable to leave behind sometimes).
Also as simple or as versatile as you want (Room to grow into it).

Read the guff lower on the page and have a look around Steves Digicams recommendations or Digital Photo Review.
Two of the better sites I've used before.

If buying also have a look on WEX for their price

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary
