Advice please - decent basic digital camera?

Skint_Catt

Hi, I would like to get my mum a new camera for Christmas. :xmassmile

She's pretty much a technophobe and likes very basic technology!

She's currently got a hand-me down Sony Cybershot T3 which suits her quite well (except she keeps taking movies instead of pictures - hilarious to hear her cursing herself when she can't work out whats going on!) but the light sensor is faulty so something similar or even easier would be great.

But I don't know where to start!!!!!

She sometimes likes to print piccies up to A5 size (and even a camera with its own very simple photo printer might not be a bad idea so she doesn't have to wait for me to upload them to the PC!) so 5/6MP or less should be sufficient.

Other than that quite open to suggestions! Help me please!

Thanks

I got this Sony last week for my Mum, decent basic camera that's easy to use for a good price.

Bought a 4gb memory card off ebay for £6.99 which stores 1050 photos so that should do her until she works out how to download them !

Thanks, looks a nice little camera! Its very similar to the T3 on the rear but with the addition of the Menu wheel which I think might confuse her a bit. She only needs point n shoot!

Will consider it though, thanks

kodak and fiji sites have refurbished and end of line stock at VERY keen prices , have found refurbished are allways brand new
