    Nice picture quality and a nice small size basically. She is not going to care about any manual features particularly, or anything more than turning it on, pointing it and pressing a button.

    Help...
    Based on this, I would see what cameras are on offer then Google some reviews.

    Hot UK Deals is a good place to start for deals - IMO, you should be able to get what you are after for between £60 - £100.

    I bought a Panasonic Lumix a couple of years ago and love it so, based on that, this recent deal looks good - the reviews linked in the deal post all seem positive.

        Some of the Sanyo Xacti fit your price range.

        I use them, disposably, for my bicycle racing movies.

        They can take really good stills, as well as HD movies. Both at the same time with the right combination of key presses.
