Best Value camera on the market for £150-£200 for a guy

Mobile phones - can you switch off web surfing?
I probably should be able to work this out, but I suspect one of you will know in a trice. DS (age 11) wants a new mobile phone. He has my old handset, which is just a phone, whereas he wants camera/MP3 etc. His granny wants a phone that is JUST a phone. So she will buy him a new (cheapish) phone, and have his. Now, as I…
