Cameras - Best Bang for your Buck?

(1/3) > >>

Bacon:
I had a Panasonic for work, older one and killed it basically.

Then i bought i Samsung for about £40 refurbished and that died the same death, firstly the flash seemed to burn itself out, then the usb port broke from constant use so  i can't charge it

I'm now looking for a replacement, something with separate power to usb port would be good, and something where the flash will last longer than 3 months...

I use the camera everyday for indoor / outdoor shots, normally in bad light and shadows.

Recommendations?

Budget upto £100?

Second hand Canon S90 or S95 if you can find one, awesome cameras.

Powershot was what I was going to suggest too. Pretty much have nearly the same amount of control as you would from an SLR, in a compact camera body, without the bulk and faff of lenses. They also are quite good in low light with wide apertures of around f2 or f2.8 or so.

I'd almost be tempted to sell you my S100, as I'm wanting to get a Ricoh tough camera, but my girlfriend would kill me as she seems to have adopted that camera!

I got a canon sx280hs - can get them for £180 new on the web
Maybe the sx260 can be found a lot cheaper - same camera but without gps really.

Bacon:
I know i'm cheap but i just destroy everything at work with all the oil and muck.

I found this one:

seems like a step up for me! Leica lens for a start, seems like a bargain?

Been using a Panasonic that someone let me borrow and its great, takes instant pictures and the flash doesn't smoke like all of my cameras so far.
