My dad wants to buy mum a better digital camera for xmas, his budget is around £100 (give or take). He's not very net-savvy (or pc-savvy, or camera-savvy!) so he's asked me for help. I've been looking around online but I am baffled. Anyone bought a good camera in this price range recently, that they can recommend to me?

Ideally we would like to buy her one with a rechargeable battery as her current one has it (which is about its only redeeming feature), and i think she'd get annoyed replacing AAs all the time.

Thanks guys

Try this one

Sony Camera (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136104)

Same as mine & a great piece of kit (but much cheaper than when i bought it!)

I'd buy this one (http://www.purelygadgets.co.uk/prodinfo.php?prodid=4729&start=10&thislist=5~27~84) - 1 GB memory card included.


Edited to add: Under £100 including memory on ebuyer

pretty good spec for the price.

Moved to the photography group which is where most of the photographers hang out.

Hmm, you're thoughts on this?

looks great to me. Do you think it's the best I could get for that price?
