Looking at getting a camera - around the £500 mark, any suggestions? Tough to find specific reviews

It would depend very much on what it is you want to do with the camera.

Do you want to have manual settings so you can actually learn some photography or do you just want a good quality point and shoot? Do you want to be able to have different lenses for different types or shots or a single lens to do everything? Do you want small and lightweight to be able to take everywhere with you or bulky so it feels better in your hand?

.....folk just seem to use mobile phones these days, I imagine camera sales are nothing like they were 10 years ago.

I remember having a Kodak 110 back in the day. Obviously Polaroid, and later the disposable camera, was very popular. For a while the handheld digital camera was popular but the average smart phone is better than these ever were. I don't know how SLR and DSLR sales are affected by smartphone use, but people have been taking crap pictures with crap cameras for a long time. The real horror, in my eyes, is people like my dad walking around with their iPads a camera for pictures. Not that I can bring it to myself to tell him to stop. And he's got nice/real cameras too, it's just easier.

...i’m a dinosaur who hasn’t owned a mobile phone since I retired close on 3 years ago. I have plenty of holidays and never take a camera anymore. Like your Dad, I use my I-pad unless i’m with the kids who use iPhone.
