Hi there, and welcome to the forum.
I would certainly echo Nigel's post above. 'Some' of Fuji's hybrid cameras do suffer big time with hi noice levels, compared to a few others.
The current Panasonic line-up is certainly worth a closer look.
....and, if you don't necessarily want to spend the whole of your £250, don't rule out some near new secondhand bargains.
As an example, we had a s/h Panasonic FZ8 in recently, a good sensor with RAW format capability, with warranty, for £150.
