Compact Camera options?

I have a holiday coming up and wouldnt mind a decent compact. At the moment i have a Fujifilm XS-1 but hardly used it because of the size and find my LG G4 camera to be pretty good for point and shoot.

I never take my phone on holiday and the little samsung camera we normaly take is on its last legs. Im also thinking if i had a decent compact camera i would use it more at events etc.

budget is around £200 which i know is low but maybe be able to push a little. In light of this i suppose i need to look at models that are end of life or second hand.

I think the budget is going to have to be upped. Was looking at the canon G9x which seems a great camera but the RX100 III seems to have gripped me. It seems to tick all the boxes for me such as pocketable, EVF, top IQ, Good video recording. All apart from price

Hopefully Easter bank holiday might throw some decent prices up.

Still deciding at the moment. Really liking the look of the canon G7X mark II. Touch screen is a big draw for easy usability.

But your original post specified a budget of £200, thats a £500+ camera.
Has your budget changed?
