buy digital camera for £100

Hello, I need to buy a digital camera for an incentive at work and don't want to buy something which people think is rubbish! Would appreciate some help on what kind of spec I should expect to get for this price and any suggested bargains. I have seen the Nikon in Argos which looks good at £65 just wondering if I could a better spec by spending the extra.

Thanks!

    Argos's prices for cameras are ludicrous.
    Have you had a look at amazon.co.uk?
    Have a browse by price and then check out the consumer reviews of any that look good
  • to avoid the rubish jibes then buy one of the photography comapny cameras nikon, fuji, olympus, canon ect. also as it is an incentive and most people only look at the megapixle value when looking for a good camera then buy big but dont drop in to the realms of Vivitar and co just to get the mp value

    It is possible to get 6mp cameras for about £100 maybe slightly more. like the Pentax optio M10 from pixmania £102
    check out these on DPreview and see whih one you think is a good choice. out of those I would go for the Fuji f10 but it is a bit more than £100.

    if you drop down to 5mp then you will find them for less than £100 check kelkoo out this is £90-120 5mp cameras
  • Thanks for your help. The Pentax one looks a good deal for 6meg pixels. Will have a shufty through Kelkoo as well there is a smart looking Nikon on there.

    Great stuff!!:j

    Hello Bargainbasement. I have been looking at the Nikon Coolpix 4600 as a potential christmas present for my husband. Is this the Nikon you are looking at by any chance. It would be good to know if it's any good if it's the one you do decide to go for.
