For a mid range price the saws made by Skil (now part of Bosch) can be

I've got a Skil saw which I'm scared of. It is a powerful beast and
commands respect (as does anything with a fast, sharp blade spining
very close to your hands). Having said that it _does_ do all I ask it
to.
For less demanding work (like cutting a fullsize ply board into more
managable pieces) I got one of the cheapo cordless jobs off ebay. It
has 2 batteries but does run out of "puff" pretty quickly. OK for
50 quid though.
