Hi

My mother in law has asked me what camera can she buy for under £50. Sounds like the start of a joke, but it's true. Any suggestions?

It started out with a refubished a470 for £48 and after some "extreme" mission creep (+ £15 gets HD movies, another £20 gets IS etc) I was recommending the a3200IS for £109 She didn't appreciate how much more you got over the camera's lifetime, for what is a very small amount and went with the a480 for £53.
