I bought a compact camera - Olympus ZX-1 first look by me

It's about £315 to £322 on Amazon (prices fluctuates daily).

And Kate does not need a sandwich, she's gorgeous as she comes

Oooooooooooooh i need a new camera, old school IXUS is truly giving up and it's beaten to hell. I love the idea of a nice camera ala DSLR but i know it wont get the right use and opportunity from me. On the same theme as the ZX-1 i'm looking at a canon S95 (refurbished) for £183.95 + Delivery right now.

Apart from several good reasons like, it's Christmas soon i should be saving, and i don't truly need a camera right now, blah blah blah (). That's a decent deal right? Means i could have a nice camera that fits in my pocket but actually takes, wait for it, *good* compact camera pictures on a night out, and in my travels?

Anything bad about it? Apart from the fact the s100 seems to have literally just been released and probably poo's all over it, albeit for twice the price.

Also i have zero posts over at TP because i use it to just browse, and they won't let me see the classifieds section () anyone else here tell me if there is anything nice second hand compact style (like this s95) there worth a punt otherwise? I'm never scared of second hand or refurbs

S95 is the alternative and for £180 is a no brainer

There is no S95 current on sale on TP, they normally go for £230 on there it seems.

Hmmmm seems like i might be buying myself a new camera soon then! It's hard to ignore such a lovely camera at that price. Fairly sure i paid about the same for my IXUS about 3-4 years ago!
