Is a 2nd hand Canon G1x mk1 for under £200 [$260] a good choice or are
there
more recent cameras at the price that would be better. Its not good for
macro
i understand and its battery thirsty but the deal includes 4. The other
alternative i was looking at, was Canon G12 but its £250. It doesnt have
such a big sensor and less mp but is lighter more pocketable and user
friendly.

It depends a bit on what you are after. I can see this camera has some
appeal, given the sensor size, zoom lens and price point.

Thanks. I should have said that 1 reason i was attracted to both is i've
always had canons with 360 flip lcds, and cameras with this [not just
tilt]
nowadays seem very expensive.
