Jessops have quite a few cameras at the 40 quid mark that make useful gifts. 0.3 MPixel I guess (640x480)

Not sure that at 125 you get *that* much more. PC World have a couple (HP and Fuji I think) at that price. Probably 1 or 1.3 MPixel. Beter resolution, yes but still not really printable and getting large enough that`d you`d need to shrink `ek to email `em.

but0 from the reviews I`ve read a very good camera
normaly £140-160 but does come with non english instructions
hence the goods price.

Thanks Dustybin for the Tesco Link - I was looking for a cheepie digital camera for my 5 year old who`s one snap happy and thought it would be cheaper than forking out money every time to get a film developed.

Have you tried any or could you recommend any? £30 ish is about right but easy "point and click" for a kid/kids fingers to use.

p.s. saved me posting the question - some mind readers out there.
