which digital camera to choose

Saint_Chris

Right i need a new digital camera, as mine is too bulky to carry around in my bag on a night out, so i bought this today from tesco
http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/consumer/digital/digital-cameras/fun-and-easy/finepix-ax245w/design
paid £15.00 for it.

But i actually had budjet of £100 to spend on a decent camera, again i was looking at a smallish one, but i do want to start and learn how to use a camera, so i went to tesco shopping and they have a camera sale, the guy said that they only had what they had in the shop, and i was undecided between the 2 below. The guy said that i can return any camera within 10 days for a refund, so i came home with the 2 cameras below.

paid £30 for it

and

for £40

I'm at a loss as to which one to keep.

I'm happy with the fujifinepix for £15 as a in your bag camera, but which of the others is the better one, the guy at tesco said that the canon, is a good learning camera, better than the sony one.

thank for replies

Useful reviews here, the Canon gets better user opinions

Thanks for that, i read those reviews

but the problem i have is my old camera was a canon which i was happy with, but it was a bit bulky, and this time i wanted a slim camera, that i can just slip into my bag.
And this canon is quite bulky.

Considering that the Canon is nearly £200 at amazon and you paid £30 for it you would be crazy to return it... perhaps keep it so that you can take pics at family occasions at your home or other times when you would not be on the move. Use the smaller one when travelling.

Sell the 2 cameras on for a profit, splash out a bit for Canon S95

S95 is loooovely. I have one as a carry around when I don't want to take my DSLR out.

thanks for that, that canon S95 looks a lovely camera but it is way out of my price range.

Hubby wants to keep the sony as he likes the size of it, flippin fellas.
