As title. I've got around £100 to buy a compact digital camera to take on rides with me. Can anybody show me some still and action shots from their camera? I'm willing to spend a little more than £100 if it's a great camera.

I got my IXUS 130 for £100 from the canon factory store on Ebay... I take horrible photos so I won't offend your eyes with any of my snaps, but it's a lovely bit of kit- small, easy to use, and pretty tough. I've never had an Ixus I didn't like really.

I'd also be interested to hear what people have to say on this...

Some cameras especially at that price still have horrendous shutter lag and that really affects what you can capture.

Fuji used to have fairly quick shutter response and I have a reconditioned E900 I picked up on ebay for around £100 a few years ago now. Its quite dated now, but I do wonder if more modern cameras are quicker to focus and shoot.

Girlfriend had a cheapish Samsung that was slow, so I'd probably avoid that brand if I were you.

I bought an ixus 130 earlier this year. Initially I was a bit disappointed coming from a DSLR but for the size/money I think its a great little camera.
