Need a cheap digital camera

Horizon81

Can anyone recommend a half decent compact digital camera please. Looking to spend no more than £60ish. I'm not fussed about spec (obviously, at this price!) Needs to have an internal re-chargeable battery. I see some take AA batteries which is a bit silly!

I've used a Kodak in the past and that was pretty decent, in terms of image quality but also interface. It was fast to take pics, and then review, take new pics etc. The interface is pretty important. Other brands I've used (e.g. Vivitar) weren't as good.

Any brands to go for/avoid?

I'd go for this.. cheapest decent camera I can find with a rechargeable batteries:

It's £65.. so quite close to your budget. I love Panasonic cameras. It's got an f2.5 lens (ok in low light), a bit of zoom.. the Pannys have a nice interface and it should be ok for you

Surely a camera that takes AA batteries will be better than a dedicated rechargeable battery. if it runs out, need an extra dedicated battery, but if AA, then just pop any AA battery in

takes AA though which isn't a bad thing as if you have a rechargeable you need a spare and they can be expensive

I've seen reviews saying has poor image quality.

Many of these small compacts with 14/16mp are trying to get too many pixels out of such small sensors.

Incidentally I have one of those cheap Fujis a 14mp AX280 and zoomed in the the detail looks odd, over processed, not at all real.

Or if you don't mind a refurb, the Canon outlet on ebay can offer good value. How about this at £35? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-PowerShot-A3200-IS-14-1-MP-Digital-Camera-Silver-Refurbished-/290940441372?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN&hash=item43bd66d31c
