Looking at buying a cheap, used digital camera for a trip to Africa in a couple of months, don't need anything too powerful, but a nice optical zoom would be handy for animals etc. Just basically looking for something better than my iPhone camera.
Did a bit a research into it and found bridge cameras might be a good idea. I've been looking at the Canon PowerShot SX530 HS in particular.
Canon PowerShot SX530 HS Review: 50x Superzoom
Are these cameras any good, or good enough for what I want to achieve, as a casual user? I haven't owned a DSLR camera for a few years and will probably sell it once I get back from Africa.
I've also been looking at this one: Fuji FinePix S9600

It's available second hand for <£100. Surely this will take decent photos?
Or would I be better getting a used Canon DSLR like a 600D? (I can't afford any extra lenses etc). Budget's probably £150-200 max I can justify to the wife.
