I just buy the stolen ones off ebay that are nicked from the Japs in Oxford St and just change the language back to English as the chav's are to clueless for that, but yes the W200 I have too is great but too many features for my simple job

Get one with a viewfinder as trying to see anything in the screen when the sun is shining is impossible

I went to Carrefour yesterday but couldnt see anything that would suit us, so I will go to our local electrical shops either today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip on the view finder, because most of the photos will be taken in the sun

Thanks to everyone else for their advice, and especially VT for being very patient on messenger

Unless you're thinking of taking serious photos, a digital SLR is probably overkill as they are not as portable as the small point and shoots. If you just need a decent little camera to slip in your handbag then Jumbo had quite a range for under 100 Euros. I don't know if there's one near you but we go to the one in Faro.

Thanks
I bought a Casio Exilim EX Z750 last year after previously owning a Fuji and a Cannon.

For the money I think this little camera is incredible, the battery life is so incredibly long you forget you have to charge it, it has a big LCD screen and a small viewfinder, it also doubles as a video camera and will capture sound and vision, not just for small clips but for the entire memory, it has loads of pre sets to make life easier on both camera and video, also 3 times optical zoom, all squeezed in a package 9cm x 6cm x 2.5cm thick.
Well recommended, oh and by the way , it takes great pictures.

I have a nikon SLR and love it. Though if i was in the market for a pocket camera any canon will be more than upto the job.

It'll do the job but not as well as the cameras previously mentioned.

I hope you're not doing a woman thing and going on looks over anything else
