    15 Cheap Digital Cameras wanted

    One of my schools wants to buy 15 digital cameras so that a whole year group can use them to work in pairs.

    But I'm having trouble finding cheap ones! (£20-£30)

    Help!

    regards

    Simon

    Argos do some cheapy Vivitars. I have an older model that is OK, but the flash is overly strong and the menu is a bit clunky. Mme LeMarchand uses it as it's more-or-less point-and-shoot and is quite happy with it.

    Oh - they only use AAA batts, which can be a PITA if/as staff throw away/put them in something else/forget to charge them. (Which is why I didn't get them for one school).

    I'd see if they're on the money-back guarantee and test one out if so.

  5. Thanks to LeMarchand from:

    I thought I'd checked argos and couldn't find any!

    I didn't think the year 6 boys would go for the colour

    (And I don't think you can do official school orders with Tesco)

    I wouldn't be so sure, if your parents are like ours they have probably already shown them a pirate copy of "Bruno"; they might think that it's delightfully à la mode.

    We have some 5 and 6 MP Acer Cameras which I could probably do for around £20 a piece. If you are interested I will check stock levels and exact prices. PM me if you want more details.
