Digi cameras tend to have various settings to handle different kinds of subjects, eg moving objects, night exposure, harsh light exposure etc. Mine was only about £60/70 from Tescos and not having any aspirations to professionalism, I'm quite happy with it. (Fujifilm Finepix AX). It's only 12MP, and uses AA batteries. One thing about digi cameras and normal alkaline type batteries - you have to use quality batteries (I ALWAYS use Duracell), cheap ones drain unbelievably quickly. Even then, if you snap away with abandon, you soon get through them, but with multi-pack offers always available somewhere it's not too much of a problem. For the next one I will definitely be looking for something with a better lens tho', because as has already been said, this is the key part for quality pics. Mine sometimes distorts the edges of images, I'm told it's due to a cheap lens.
