Which point and shoot digital camera for £150ish ? Upgrading from Canon Ixus 70

[DAVE_RSi]

Hi All,

Looking for some help, currently have a Gopro hero 3 Silver and an old Canon Ixus 70.


Basically looking to upgrade the Canon Ixus 70 as I’m off to Thailand in a couple of weeks so feel now is good time to do it.
I’m not really someone who will mess around with too many settings so a decent point and shoot is the main requirement.

Budget, say £110-160

Looking to just sticking with a compact digital camera, it’ll be coming with me snowboarding.


Here’s a link to the IXUS I have now

Canon IXUS 70 Digital Camera - Silver (7.1MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5" LCD



I’ve seen this, Canon Powershot SX240 HS

Canon Powershot SX240 HS Digital Camera - Black (12.1 MP, 20x Optical Zoom) 3.0 Inch LCD



Be a good upgrade? Or any other suggestions?

Left the powershot in the end, didn't like the pop up flash

Gone for a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ25

16x optical zoom so not quite the 20 that the powershot had but I think it'll quite happily do the job
