Digital camera for 13 year old

[Nite0wl71]

I am looking for a decent but not expensive digital camera for my DD, she will be 13 next month.

Two years ago we bought her a cheap one it was $99. We wanted to see if she took care of it and if she used it. She always uses it and since she took care of it I want to get her a new one.

The one she has uses SD cards and I would like to get one that also uses them, she has 4 of them.

what is your budget, that will have a big influence on suggestions..

Since she will be 13, I am figuring not over $200.

The Canon PowerShot A520 falls right in your range. 4x optical \ 4 megapixels, uses SD memory and 2AA batteries.

Great little camera in that price range.

That looks perfect, I just checked it out on-line and it is under $200 with tax at Circuit City. I think she will like this one, Thank you.

I think you'll be surprised at the results you can get from this 4MP camera. Canon has some of the best performance in this price range.

If she's interested, consider finding a introductory photography class for her at your local community college or YMCA or whatever.

Nite0wl, I just got word that RadioShack will be running a special on that paticular camera starting tomorrow the 5th.

RadioShack's price is a little higher than Circuit City's @ $199 before tax, but starting on the 5th, you can get an Epson C88 printer AND a 256meg SanDisk for free after rebates. Your cost would be 319.97 out the door (pre tax.) There is a total of 6 rebates, paying out a total of $120.

If you have any questions, let me know. I work here at the Shack, so let me know.

I just saw that in the paper. I won't be able to get it until Friday, but there is a Radio Shack not far from here.

Thanks for the info
