The best camera I can honestly recommend to you is the Canon A712 is. It is so easy to use and it is so compact. It is also a very good price for what you get. have a look at it on the canon website. www.canon.co.uk I already have this camera so I know what they are like to use.

I have always had an Olympus digital camera and would highly recommend them for ease of use, features and reliability. For the money you have to spend, I would suggest this model:

I will suggest Canon Powershot SD 700. Best in the 6 Mega Pixel catagory. value for money.

Have a look at the Pentax range. I have 2, and very pleased with them. Look for a camera with a rechargeable battery, and a media card slot, sd/mmc, memory stik, compact flash etc. Also, carry some cigarette papers with you to stick over the flash when takin flash photos. It diffuses the flash. The flash can be quite harsh on digital cameras. Good luck.........

i;ve been using the Canon A75 and also Canon Ixus 5 they are clearly the best cameras.The Ixus has a rechargeable battery too.A75 uses the normal AA size battery.I use rechargeable batteries and its too good.
