Camera for 8 yr old daughter

[davidy]

My daughter is 8 very shortly and she wants a new camera for her birthday.

For the last 5 years she's been using a Creative Webcam 750, which was very simple to use and 'for her' produced effective photos and movies. Our requiements are:-

* Up to about £130 but that should include memory card and case
* Capable of movies with sound at 640x480 resolution
* Easy to use, not loads of menus, simple dial type Auto/Playback/Movie selector, not fiddly ie no small buttons
* Reasonable Macro Mode
* Fast AF and shutter, she'sliable to take 'action' shots of her friends and she doesn't want them out of shot by the time the shutter fires!

She has used my 350D on occassions and my wife's Panasonic FX01, so is getting used to the two stage shutter

I was thinking about something like a Canon A460

Any other suggestions?

I doubt you'll get better photo quality at that price.
