I'm starting to look for a new/used camera to buy, primarily to be used on motorbike trips - so size is a big factor - and also will be used for some video.

A used EOS M with the 18-55mm kit len can be picked up for £150-180, another possibility is the Canon 100D but these are £200+ for the body only.

I used to have a Nikon D70 quite a few years ago I'm well versed in 'proper' photography (was the main photographer at my sisters wedding), so a simple p&s with no manual modes would be extremely annoying to use!

Any other suggestions for around £200-250 max? Seems like the EOS M is a bit of a bargain, even if the focus is a little slow (not that important for what will be 90% landscape shots). Not looking to spend a huge amount as it won't get that much use outside of travel use, maybe 4-5 trips per year plus some general use.
 
And if you have a TP account they come up reasonably frequently and go for very little money in the classifieds.

Awesome, I do have an account there, just need to make 14 more posts :D

Thanks for the info, the 22mm f2 can be picked up for under £100 so would be nice addition if I need to pack super-small.
