Thinking about getting one of these as its just in my budget of £130 and seems to get very good reviews. My only concern is thats its getting old and maybe there is something newer and better out now. Want compact to take biking/snowboarding but still with good image quality and ideally some user control like exposure time etc.

I got a Sony tx5 from bestbuy for 150 the other day. Nice shots, waterproof etc. Worth a look if they still have them.

Thanks for that will have a look. The other one im thinking of is the Ixus 130.

plus 10% cashback with quidco as well!

I have an FX500 or 550 (not sure which), and really like the touch screen and UI. It’s relatively simple to use, with a pretty reasonable zoom and good resolution.

The only problem I’ve had (and it can be relatively major!) is that focussing in low light can be poor to terrible. Bit of a pain for those night time shots!

Thanks nicko74, I still can’t decide!
