Despite the links to this product on this website - this camera retails at under £50 at Argos and I defy anyone to find it cheaper than that. (And here you can use your nectar points too)

At the price this camera represents an entry level camera in the powershot range. What I like is its not too small that holding it and pressing the buttons becomes a problem, the simple functionality on the rotating switch at the back (as I bought this for my daughter) and the large viewing screen. The camera itself also has a nice feel and quality to it.

In comparison to her childrens digital camera of limited picture quality that was more expensive than this this represents a good value camera with a good quality to the images. If are a photographer of standing I think it unlikely that you would be considering purchasing entry level cameras. The flash and red eye is good - I am considering by one for myself now.

There are four colours available silver, red, blue and green - although the red and gren are only available if ordering from the internet not in store.
