Cheap robust digital camera for child - recommendation

[cirks]

My daughter is 5 at tge end of this week and wants a camera for her birthday (good girl!). She sometimes takes a few piccies with our Ixus but I want to get her something very simple to use, is small but robust and, not surprisingly, cheap too.

Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations? There's a 3Mb Vivitar at Argos for just under £50 and I've glanced at Canon Outlet etc.

Thanks - I missed that thread originally.
