Digital cameras. What would be the best budget camera to buy my mother?

My mother is turned 70 so it needs to be uncomplicated to use so not too many features and have a large easy to view screen. Preferably with a rechargeable battery.

Here you go. Chose one of these:

I would advise u to check out Woolworths they had a deal on a digital camera (simple 1) 4 only 拢29.99 and it was good quality!!

I bought a Lumix 4.0 mp DMC-LS1 for about 拢100.
It is brilliant. Has a large screen, is very simple to use and takes very good qulity pictures.
Would thoroughly recommend it for anyone.
Hope this helps.

about 300 US $ or about 150 UK currency.is the cost of handy cam for diagram costs are about $ 50 for good diagram

Most digital cameras have an automatic mode - that you wouldn't need to adjust any settings - thus the category: 'point & shoot' cameras.

I suggest staying with the major brands such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus. You should be able to find something nice for about $150US.

Here are some good websites to research digital cameras:

CHECK OUT JULY'06 CONSUMER REPORTS. MIGHT LOOK INTO CANON POWERSHOT A520 ABOUT $170, SONY CYBER-SHOTDSC-W5 ABOUT 220. At $100 or less I myself would not be interested in.
