I currently have a Sony cybershot DSC-W50 that has just broken so I'm looking to replace it with something similar.

Most likely looking in the £70-£100 range, obviously the lower the better.

It needs to be able to take shots of people moving without blurring and obviously the quality should be as good as possible. But its also used for taking landscape shots and so should be able to handle low and bright light conditions.


Are there any budget cameras that stand out or are they all pretty much on the same level? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No idea what it's like, but Play have an offer:

Play.com (UK) : Panasonic Lumix LS85 EB 8.1 Megapixel Digital Camera (Silver) : Electronics - Free Delivery

Does anyone know if its any good? Certainly seems a good deal.

However I was under the impression that most reasonable cameras over £100 used li-ion batteries. Does the fact that this uses normal batteries suggest its either an inflated original price or just not a great camera?
