Digital Camera-which one?

[rosamundjohn]

I am not interested in phography but need a digital camera to snap photos of the family, put onto my computer and send to friends. My mobile does not have a camera.
I would only use it for this purpose so can anyone tell me what to buy? Thanks

There are lots of cameras in the sub �100 category which will do what you want and more. Best thing is to go to a camera shop with your request and they should be able to give you unbiased advice.
A very simple one to use which is light and compact with good battery life is what most people want.

This is a good review website with prices and links

When camera searching I found this one very good too:

If you have got an Asda near by they have one advertised on the T.V 8 meg pixels for �50. It is Fugi if I remember. They said you can buy this for �99 at Jessops or �50 at Asda. I would be tempted if I needed to get another.

I also saw an advert for Currys on the T.V last night. They were advertising a Samsung one for about �69.99 I think it was 8 meg pixels. They said this offer only lasts a short while.

8 megapixels is a lot if all you want is snaps - it creates big computer files that are slow to email. (Though some cameras may have the option to reduce the degree of resolution.) 4 or 5 is plenty. Have a look through these:

Something like a Sony Cybershot or Canon Ixus will probably be fine. go for something small and light and easy to slip into your pocket.

Whatever you decide on, make sure it`s got an optical zoom, as well as digital.
