price limit?

Does she just want a point and click? resolution is irrelevent as the small point and click cameras have such a tiny CCD as to make it so. You want a good brand with a good lens which is a lot more important than 12 MP written on it lol

I have just checked the one shes been using, but broke now.

It is a Samsung 10mp, 5 x optical zoom,3.0" large lcd. Well battered though

.
Usually she is never without her camera,in bag constantly so needs be a decent one but compact.

if you find one you like the look of, go to www.dpreview.com and check it out there. a full review and test can usually be found for the more common brands. I tend to look in 2 main places for my camera stuff. www.warehouseexpress.com and www.digitaldepot.co.uk Personally never had any issues with either.
