Spec me a camera for £240

Hi,

Please spec me a camera for up to £240. It's for casual use, but I may well learn how to take proper shots with it too.

Thanks.

Are you after an SLR or just a simple point and shoot?

I just bought a Canon s95. Has full auto for casual use but also allows manual mode to take some proper shots. This is a compact mind and with the recent release of the s100, the s95 is now £230 on Amazon.

This, unless you want a DSLR.

I agree as I got one as well. For less than your asking price its an excellent piece of kit. Ability to shoot raw, plenty of manual controls, and at a good price.

Still learning my way through all the options and settings.
