I just got a Vivitar 6324 from Amazon for£49.99 with free delivery.Had a play about with it and it seems to do the job,6MP,3 x Optical Zoom,2.5 inch screen,takes movies with sound etc.Deliberately ran the batteries into the ground to see what the lifetime was like,switched off and on numerous times,took around 50 photos,viewed them a few times,played about with settings,couple of quick videos,viewed on PC a couple of times so for a couple of standard duracells I thought that wasn't too bad.Also got a 2GB SD card for just over £9(could have got it cheaper but this was the cheapest direct from Amazon which was included in the free postage).Was tempted to go for the Casio Exilim Z75 they are doing for £100 but for 50 quid it does all I'm looking for.
