€100 to spend on a camera

mel123

Hi,
Ive got €100 to spend on a digital camera. I basically dont want to spend more as its just a pocket camera really for taking your average photos, nothing fancy, bringing it on hols etc. Ive got a higher end camera as well.
The last digital camera I had was Olympus (until i dropped it) and i really liked it. Im looking at this, for 80 quid plus shipping doesnt seem bad

If anyone has seen or could recommend anything else I would appreciate it. The main things I would be looking for are decent megapixel, decent zoom and decent FPS.

snapsort.com is handy for comparing features.

One possible downside to the Olympus you linked to is the proprietary Li-ion battery, which means you can't pop in a couple of rechargeables if you're suddenly presented with a blinking red light just as that perfect photo pops up... And a second battery seems to add quite a bit to the bundle price.

Whereas the likes of Canon/Fuji compacts now mostly use SD and AAs (with some exceptions, I know).
