Help find me a camera for my sister!

[24lemons]

I am looking to buy a small digital compact for my sister's birthday. Budget Is up to £150 and main requirements are small size, good battery life and good picture quality.

She's not likely to be bothered by manual controls, dozens of picture modes GPS etc...

It's been a while since I last looked at compacts and canon/Nikon seemed to be the brands of choice.

What would PH suggest?

Thanks in advance.

iPhone?

I can get reasonable shots from my Galaxy S3, but until either that or the iPhone has an optical zoom, I don't see them as true replacements even for a budget camera.

For £150, though, I'd be looking at a camera from a couple of years ago and shopping second hand.

Ok, that's not a bad idea. She has an Iphone but she wants something a bit more versatile for holidays and travel.

Second hand S95 would be perfect
