Yep good value.

I've got a 5600 which cost me £150 a while back. Takes great pictures and real easy to use.

I'd go for the better one at £93 in the new and used section. The only thing I'd be wary of is if it's a refurbished one. Pays to read the discription thoroughly.

I might even go for one myself at this price - thanks

looking at the customer immages, the ones for the cheeper one are miles better than the more expensive one, any reason for this?

Cos the people who took the photos on the more expensive camera are rubbish photographers who thought they'd benefit from a higher priced camera?

Yep, tend to agree, father in law is one. Messes about with the settings and can't even get the picture in focus! Then wonders why his pictures are carp.

My mum and dad were proffesional photographers using film cameras. He's 80, Mums 76, hasn't got the best digital camera in the world, but they still can take a good photo.

Looks OK for the money, but remember its not all about Mega Pixels and as said above, taking a good picture relies on more than just having a good camera...

yep, I get that... kinda like going fast on a bike has more to do with skill than bhp

so, would the cheeper one be better for a novice who has only used a point a shoot digital, but wants to get better?

Unless it has the high power rechargeable batteries, be prepared to fork out a fortune for spare batteries. They eat them like nothing else.

Or just buy some decent rechargeables. I use these 2300 mAh ones in my Fuji S6500. Ridiculously cheap and they last ages. Although that may have something to do with tha fact that the S6500 has an SLR style manual zoom rather than a power eating motorised one.
