Looking for a low end camera recommendation

[Turin39789]

Trying this again, didnt get much response last time. I'm looking for a camera under $100 for my future mother in law, her daughters are going in on it for christmas.

Looking for an easy to use digital point and shoot. Something that she can use to take pictures of the grandkids.

There seem to be 5000 cameras in this category and no reviews available. I just want to make sure I don't get a stinker .

I'd like to get it together soon so we can hand the present over on thanksgiving and I'll need to find memory cards and bag etc. Also to get the fiancee to stop stressing about it.

Please?

under 100? that is impossible for new digital camera....you might be lucky to fund used camera at ebay...4 megapixel is good but I don't know what your mother in law want to do with digital photo? for album book? on the wall? any brand name with over 5 megapixels camera usually sell for like 150.00 and also it is good for digital 4 x 6, 5 x 7, or 8 x 10 photo printout.

Good luck.

Was looking at the Kodak EasyShare C613 as one possibility. 2.4 ccd, 6.1mp

or a


Panasonic ls70 which we saw at OD for 99, seems to be worth about $150 so might go this route if they still have it at that price.

Just verified that the ls70 is for sale at $99 at OD, not seeing it on the website, only one in stock locally so it may be a close out . It's a 7.1 with a 2.5 ccd.

fuji f20 is a great camera, i got it new for 120 last year, great picture quality and low light performance
