What easy to use digital camera Sub £150 ?

[Vogon]

As title, I am finding my aging Canon A630 (and likely my aging too !) is not getting as good a pictures as I would like, mainly focus and/or camera shake issues.

I literally want a point and shoot capable of minimising any camera movement and resulting in a good decent quality in focus picture of whatever I photograph.
If it is capable of taking low light flash-less pictures and has a macro option that would be a major plus too

Is there anything that will do the above far better than my current camera ?

If you can stretch to circa £200 you'd be into the range of a nice second hand RX100.

Bit too much of a stretch I am afraid

Fuji XF1 as mentioned in the basically identical thread next to this one...

Sorry, I didn't see that thread
TBH after some googling last night, I learned a little about bridge camera's and the 2 I shortlisted are:

Nikon Coolpix L820
Olympus SP-8204Z

Is the compact Fuji going to be as good ?

Don't touch bridge cameras with a 10 foot pole. They're spec shouting matches that don't live up in any way shape or form because their sensors are tiny, the lenses are soft and the image quality is accordingly rubbish. They just get sales through people going "oooh it zooms a lot". They're just about usable at the wide end albeit with big distortion, and then pointless at the long end.

L820 Flickr group: (Note that while some look fine in the thumbnail form, they almost all look really badly oversharpened and poor quality when you blow them up)

Didn't want to start a new thread as I am looking for a camera for general use,holiday etc, would a Nikon 1 J2 be worth a look at £180?

Thanks for any advice
