I had a Nikon Coolpix 5400 before moving onto the D70 and it had full manual control. Great little camera, but just caught the bug for something a bit more flexible ie detachable lenses etc There are loads of cams out there now with manual control, in fact too many to keep up to date with, if it was me I'd just go with the main mfr's (Nikon/Canon/Fuji/Sony) and narrow it down from there
Not sure how much these sort of cameras are these days, but doubt they would be more than a few hundred quid, it's just that you get to a point where for a few dollars more you can get an entry DSLR.
Jimbo, don't make the mistake of just going for MP's. The D70 has 6.1MP's, whereas a few point and shoots have a lot more. Go for a cam that has alot of features and definitely one that has full manual control, otherwise you will not have the ability to be creative with your shots.
Just seen one of my old cam's on ebay going for about 1-150 UKP, so not really a big deal, and to be honest wouldn't mind picking one up for a spare.
