Sony Cyber-shot vs Fuji FinePix S5600

[lozmatic]

Got an amazon.co.uk voucher and was thinking of getting a digital camera. Budget is of £100 circa.

I've spotted two interesting ones...

Fuji FinePix S5600 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000B69IDI/3000030-21/ref=nosim)

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93A (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Cyber-shot-DSC-P93A-Accessory-Batteries/dp/B0006HJE5E/ref=sr_1_37/203-6324551-9855100?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1180100715&sr=1-37)

Both seem to be a bit on the old side but good cameras for the price.

Watcha think?

Both are good cameras, although IME the Sony is more of a snapshot device (only had a shot of one once tho) wheras the Fuji (which I own & use often) comes into its own if you are looking to use slightly more advanced photographic skills.

Yep, used both and that's pretty much it in a nutshell.

I've seen pics taken with a 2 year old cybershot and was very impressed.

pogofish, got any examples online of pics you've taken?

Not with the Sony but plenty Fuji shots here. I particularly like it in low light - all images are reduced size of course.

Fuji sets are Beltane, St Cyrus, Beach works, Leuchars Airshow & Breemie/Belladrum Festivals.

I'd go for the Fuji, I have owned to Fuji cameras and they've both been excellent.
