What camera to take on holiday?

Going to Tunisia for a week, was wondering what camera will be good to take also giving it as a present to my boyfriend who is going with me. Thinking about maybe Sony cybershot HX200v (18.2mp, 30x optical zoom) or Nikon D3100 digital SLR. Or any other recommendations. Camera will be used casually, price range: £400 max! Any suggestions will be greatly helpful cheers.

Only you can know the kind of camera your boyfriend might like.
It's often best to travel with a light 28mm-100mm-ish zoom camera with a better sensor and buy postcards of distant things than carry a big camera around. Certainly that £400 won't let you put a long zoom lens on the Nikon.
I'd suggest a little Sony RX100.see link info.
