[scottomus0]

Hey guys would like some advice!

My better half is after a camera for christmas, on top of everything else!

She used too had a Panasonic Lumix of some sort a couple years ago, which she liked but broke!

dont have a big budget, around £100-£150 roughly.

Seen this on offer, any good?

What about a bridge camera which could serve as a background for something better later down the road?

Olympus is the better choise for low budgets.

Fujifilm XF1. Decent sized sensor and fast lens. You will struggle to find a camera to take better quality photo's especially in low light for 150 quid. Dont be taken in by cameras with higher Mega pixels in this price range, its the size of the sensor and speed of the lens which is what counts. If she requires a bigger zoom range then this wont be the camera but at the longer end of a zoom with a bridge camera the photos wont be very good IMO.
