Having sold a number of cameras over the years, my suggestion for a simple point and shoot based on what I read is either a Kodak or a Nikon. You'll get better quality with a Nikon, but based on ease of use, both are good. Most bottom line cameras these days don't have a low enough megapixal rating to really be of any concern. Just be warned that you might want to range from $100 - $150. You can find things under $100, but sometimes, they are off brand cameras. Also, memory cards aren't that big a deal for price anymore. You can easily find a 2 gig card for under $20, sometimes even a 4 gig if you can find good deals. Wait till Thanksgiving and You'll have now problem finding excellent deals on memory cards. You might even get two or three 2-4 gig cards for under $30. <BR/><BR/>Pass on any questions if you'd, as I've heard most of the shopper questions before. And good luck Geoness, it can be a lot of fun when you get those cool bragging shots, just like when you beat dad to the cache.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963048453979837978.post-28341185990268890662008-11-15T23:33:00.000-08:002008-11-15T23:33:00.000-08:00for a budget, I'm a big fan of the Nikon point and...for a budget, I'm a big fan of the Nikon point and shoot models. My daughter has one, and it's super easy to use, and takes decent pics. I love that it uses regular AAs too (no specialized battery that dies at inopportune times). Just something to keep in mind.<BR/><BR/>Just don't get her an Olympus Stylus 830...I'm still trying to figure out how to use that sucker.Just Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750966513198534462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963048453979837978.post-86825048486645177362008-11-15T19:08:00.000-08:002008-11-15T19:08:00.000-08:00Consider a cell phone.

Cell phone, PDA, camera, GPSr. They even have transponders on them so you know where your daughter is all the time.tonka_boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724677214794295872noreply@blogger.com
