If I wanted to buy myself a reasonable-quality digital camera for UKP100 or less this weekend, how realistic would I be being, and where should I look if it were possible? I want to buy it in person, not online. It's got to be easy to use and produce basic web-quality images. I'll want to be able to plug it into both Windows and Mac computers. If it were difficult to break, that would be a bonus. I have no idea how realistic my budget is.

Discuss.

Hi Lucy

Get the biggest memory card you can afford - this works out cheaper and more convenient in the long run than getting a small one now and then buying another one later. With my digital camera I ended up buying a succession of progressively bigger memory cards which add up to 1Gb. Mind you, back in 2003 when I got the camera memory cards were very expensive.

I find that prices vary loads and things (especially memory cards) are generally cheaper online.

Get one that takes standard AA or AAA rechargeable batteries, then you can get good ones and a fast charger later.

I don't know what you get for 100 pounds these days but I'm sure there are loads of reviews out there. Worth doing loads of research because you'll have the camera for years hopefully.

Yay I look forward to seeing your photos! :-)
