yet another xmas prezzie request, but on absolute limited budget ..

was thinking of buying the gf a cheap knockabout digicam for xmas .. must be dirt cheap tho as it'l no doubt spend all it's time at the stables in frezing weather and maybe get dropped in the mud ..

I've seen cameras as cheap at 50 notes, and even Asda are doing known names for under a hundred ..

does anyone have any preference on which to go for .. something closer to 50notes than 100 would be good .. piccie quality not important , just want something to take snaps of the horses and stuff ..

over to you guys.

Jo.

Have a look on ebay. There are some good bargins on there.

As for the Asda ones you are talking about. Are they the ones that are advertised on TV? I cant remember the details, but theres a 3 mega pixel for £50.

How about an Olympus from Empire Direct.

Other makes are the usual Sony, Minolta, Canons etc...

I think I saw Fujis in Asda for £99. Try to get a zoom lens if possible (optical, not digital).
