Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a camera!
Its a present for family member.

I want to spend around £80 max!

I recently bought a Pentax Optio 40 and I'm really pleased with it. It takes great pictures (8 megapixels), it's simple to use and the battery life between charges is fantastic. I've just checked and it's available from Amazon for £77.00. Make sure you order a better memory card at the same time as the one supplied isn't too good. Also it doesn't come supplied with a case (a bit cheap of them!).

It might be worth mentioning what sort of photography their likely to use it for?

i brought this for myself 2 weeks ago it is a great little camera sleek, chargable battery which lasts for ages i charged it up the day i got it and havn't charged it since.

loads of extras on menu i use the kids frame (i think they call it) and even when my kids have been moving about the pictures are crystal clear.

i then got a 2gb memory card from ebay delivered for 3.49

Try the Samsung L series or NV series. Very good quality and great little video cameras, too. Play and Amazon stock them at around your budget.
