What is the best digital camera to buy for my daughter's 21st birthday?

she doesn't want any special functions, just something she can get some good snaphots with....she's in Paris for a year so the pics will probably be of buildings/places of interest and drunken friends inside pubs/clubs.

and where is the best place to buy one?

Im just looking at buying one and the best website I have found is www.amazon.co.uk

Then go to the electronics section they have loads and loads of all prices!!

a small but good 5-7 megapixle camra

how much are you planning to spend?
