digital camera advice

I'm looking for a decent but cheapish digital camera I could probably go as high as 100 max I am intending for general use but also one that is good for indoor pictures for concerts.

I'm looking for a good bargain if possible I'm not worried about memory cards as I can easily pick one up cheap off net but if anyone knows of a good deal with memory card all the better

Cheers

If you want it to be any use whatsoever at concerts, you'll need a decent amount of optical zoom.

This:

Came up on hotukdeals recently.

If you can track one down, it's a total steal at this price .... far better than some no-name effort that the likes of aldi will be selling.

10x optical, 7.1mp and Fuji are normally pretty good in low light.

If you can find a better camera cheaper, I'll eat my socks.

At £50, you are virtually stealing.

It's a superb bargain if they have any in stock. Make sure you find a member of staff and make them have a dig about. Cameras are usually kept in a locked cupboard and there should be one on display but I wouldn't guarantee it!

Any others nearby(ish)?

Might be worth a phone call or two. If you can find one within 10 miles or so, it'd be worth the trek at that price!

there might be one in town I can swing by but dunno if they stock electrical goods like this

EDIT: apparently it's a local and don't stock electrical stuff like cameras

I just checked and one of the stores near me is showing 7 in stock.

If you wish, I could buy it for you and post it to you? (Obviously, you'd need to cover any p&p fees but I have bubblewrap and stuff in the house so it would be packed well)

If you would like some security with that, rather than just buying it through me here (as I'd want cash up front), I could list it on ebay as a private auction and send you the ebay listing ID? (I have about 8 years worth of excellent ebay feedback)

Let me know as I'd need to call the store to reserve it and collect it this evening.

Oh .... if you want to go down the ebay route, I would need to increase the cost slightly to cover ebay and paypal fees. All in, including p&p (recorded or special delivery if you wish) I can't see it coming it at more than £60 odd?

*** EDIT ***

OK, I though I'd pre-empt you a bit on this one.

Phoned the store. They have one put back for me on the proviso that if I don't collect it tonight, it goes back out on sale tomorrow.

So it's there if you want it. You just need to let me know before 8-ish tonight so I can nip out and pick it up. (Store is only 10 minutes from where I live)

Checked the price while I was on the phone, still coming up at £49.99 ... probably a wee bit cheaper when you pay for it as I think they adjust for the lower rate of VAT at the till.

Let me know .....
