Digital Camera

[secsee1]

I'm off on holiday in March and need a new digital Camera that is Idiot proof when taking pictures and doesn't need a degree in nuclear physics to download the pictures to a computer, can anybody recommend a camera that fits the bill but is at a reasonable price up to £60 or £70 or cheaper if possible.

Get one that will take ordinary/rechargeable batteries, as when the battery runs down (as it will) you will be nowhere near the mains to recharge a built in battery. Also get one that takes SD memory cards as you can plug these straight into most laptops.

The Kodak EasyShare M532 should fit the bill. I've used several kodak digital cameras and bought one for my dad a couple of years ago at around the same price. The easy share bit should solve your connectivity problems although I find nothing easier than simply taking the memory card out and slotting it into the PC.

Thanks for your answers so far, and mickrog I saw the ads on TV for the new Nikon1, They're "avin a larf" they start at around £440. I want a camera not pay off the national debt!

Nikon make cameras that start at £50 right up to professional cameras that cost thousands of pounds. Just because you saw a Nikon advert that showed one for £440 dont think they all cost that.

This Canon Ixus 115 is a lovely camera, very easy to use, and small so it fits in a pocket or handbag. My daughter has one and the pictures are excellent.

Only £106 at the moment from Amazon

I also recommend Kodak EasyShare. Best camera I have ever owned. I use card reader and flashdrive to download and it really is a piece of cake

If you want the easy way out, a simple point and shoot camera would take good pictures. If you into takng the time out to really take great pictures, then a DSLR is a better option.

For an entry level photography enthusiast, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i is a good option you may want to consider. It is packed with many good features and is value for money. It also nash a handy Auto+ mode for when you just want to go auto. Review available at http://orderable.com/...Slr-Camera-Review.htm
