Cheap second hand decent camera?

[phil675]

Hi there.

I'd like a half decent camera for pics on days out etc, anything better than my phone really. I'm looking at some Fuji cameras on ebay that look like bridge cameras, the S1500, S5200HD and S7000. Are these worth picking up used for below £50?

Thanks

I like the Fuji bridge cameras. I was going to pick up another to replace my old Fuji 6900Z until a Canon EOS 400D came my way at the right money. There's plenty of reviews and info online about the various models. Personally I'd avoid Ebay. The classified forums here, and at AV Forums and elsewhere are more likely to provide something decent around your budget. I was a day too late to pick up a Fuji 6500fd for £70 recently on AV Forums. It had been up for sale for almost a week with no interest!
