I'm sending something back and I'm getting a credit note for ~£50. I can put a bit more to it if necessary but I'd like your suggestions as to what to buy.

Realistically I don't need anything for my PC, Xbox or PS3 so fire away. What shall I buy?

Edited to add: A Digital Camera might be a good option but it looks like I'd have to spend £120+ to get anything decent. Plus I'd want >720p movie recording. Did consider the Kodak Zi8 but I reckon the standard camera functionality will be a bit rubbish.

(I'm thinking video camera functionality to record in the car btw)

Excellent find. I didn't think to check used stock! So far the favourite is the Ixus100, the current camera (on it's last legs) is an Ixus so stick with what I know.

It's not done and dusted yet though, if there are other suggestions then I'm all ears.
