Right, after selling the ixus 60 thinking i could save for an SLR i cant lol! After numerous tests in Jessops and reading online reviews it has come down to these 2 pairings.... does anyone own either?

My Grandad has the Powershot and its superb, mate.

But to be honest, unless you're a budding photographer, you wont really tell the difference between the two, surely? Both look tip top

Powershot has more manual controls and uses AA batteries - whether I would use the manual controls is another question lol!

[JJ!]

[JJ!]

^^ i know! but funds are tight as a Nun's arse at the moment! hence £200 is max!!! someone will get a bargain!

 

[Batman]

I've got an Ixus 850 - I bought it in Hong Kong when I was on my honeymoon as my old V2 was playing up. It's a good camera and having the wide angle lens is very useful. The pictures come out pin sharp too. Well worth the money.

I bought a Sony H9 in Singapore for £200, very impressed with the quality so far and the x15 zoom is excellent.
