digital camera advise please

hinx

hello money savers, i was wondering if anyone could help me find a suitable digital camera for my son.

Jonjoe is 14 years old and has a severe learning difficulty, he loves to take pictures with my mobile phone so i thought he would like a camera where he could look at the pictures he has taken imediately.

Ideally i would like to get him a digital camera with quite a big screen so he can see the pictures better, i was thinking of maybe a 2.5 inch.

Iam not bothered about the photo quality of the camera as i would not be printing any photos off, it will be purely for him to snap away as much as he likes.

Ihave read on previous posts that the cheaper camers have poor battery life, but obviously i don't want to spend a lot.
i would be greatful for any advice

Thanks Lisa

the old sony mavica cameras were perfect for schoolkids to use. they were very popular in schools etc.. big screen and very esy to use. battery life was good too. ive owned a few of them.

find one on ebay. theres 24 on ebay right now.
the fd200 (2mp) is the better model, but maybe too much for your son?
but its very useable for you too.
