    What is the best sub £200 camera?

    My Fuji S5700 was stolen so I now need to replace it. The S5800 looks pretty good but I really want the next step up but can't afford a true DSLR. Any one have any good pointers?

    Get an S9500

    Review:Fujifilm FinePix S9500 - TrustedReviews

    It's a fab camera is pretty much an SLR with a few caveats, and you can snag one from eBay for 150 easily (i might also have one going on the FS forum at some point).

    270 is low end DSLR territory though (ie my D40 was 260)? Dunno whether that would be preferable to ultra high end compact.

    The last 5 finished are - including p/p:

    £112
    £116
