A new Canon 350D or Nikon D40 is around £300, consider one of those?
for 250 you can either get a bottom end SLR like the Samsung or Pentax, but both of them suck.Bottom end SLRs ie D40, A100 or w/e the lowest canon is are around 350 + lense.Either spend 100quid on a decent p&s or save up more and get a decent entry SLR.

Dont listen to the naysayers, most the sub 500 dslrs can take good pictures.The only thing you should really worry about is lens availability, which is something canon and nikon have in spades over pentax,olympus,etc.
