First of all we bought this camera for my daughter for her birthday, but she hasn't had time to use it properly yet.We have been using it instead of the one we have because of ease of use.And this cost about £80 less than ours.

This camera is a very good price at around £40

Features

5.0 Mega Pixels
2.4" TFT LCD Screen
4x Digital Zoom
Flash
You can change exposure between -2.0 and +2.0
Date Stamp so if you want the date on the photo you have taken
Timer which can be set at 10 or 20 seconds if required
Burst Snapshot which can be set to take three pictures (but flash can't be used)
Various image resolution
32mb memory
Balance's to choose from - Auto,Daylight,Tungsten,Fluorescent or Cloudy
Video Recording
Video Resolution can be set at 640*480 or 320*240
Frame rate you can choose between 15 or 30 frames per second
Audio Recording (if you want to record sound but no video)
Slideshow (for viewing photos)

This camera is small (will fit in most pockets) Approx 85x56x22mm and light at around 85g (without batteries)
This camera takes two AAA batteries
You really need an SD Card for this as the internal memory is only 32mb which means you only get about 16 pictures.
But with 5.0 Mega Pixels it does take good photos
Comes with a water proof case,Which looks pretty good(might come in handy for the beech)
Comes with lead to connect into tv or into pc through ucb port.
This comes with software to put on your pc but i haven't used it as i just use windows for thing's like this.

Pros-This camera is small and light and takes good quality photos at an affordable price.
Cons-But the memory is small so make sure you have an SD Card and extra batteries as they don't last as long as you think they will.You have to delete the photo's 1 at a time doesn't seem to support batch deleting.Sometimes a long gap between turning flash on and being able to take a photo.
