Default Basic Camera for Inlaws

My wife's parents are interested in a digital P&S, but only want to spend around $100. Can they even get a decent cam for around that? They would just use for snapshots around the holidays.

Thanks.

Canon Powershot? Canon PowerShot A480 Digital camera - compact - 10.0 Megapixel - 3.3 x optical zoom - Red

Hard to go wrong with Canon's Powershot line.

@micheal

Indeed a canon powershot is a good camera mine A540 has even dslr possibiliets like wb altering, iso altering, drive mode altering , iso altering etc etc , and it sdtill has the dummy proof auto mode .. the bad thing it doesn't have a stableliser.

i can recommend steve looking at canon, nikon, kodak sony olympus the fun in america it is cheaper than with me here

Thanks guys. We have a Kodak Easyshare that I'm not too impressed with. Pictures are fine, but the operation is only so-so. The Canon A480 looks promising.

well there are more brands like kodak or canon.. just take the "inlaws " in a blue bus with "Swampler "on the side and "police signs" to a a good utilized shop, and see waht beauties they have , not every compact has so so handeling the best way is let them handle it see if they can figuere out how to put it on etc.. if they can the deal is allmost made..
