Need help finding a cheap digital camera for daughter

[asaj]

My 7 yr old daughter really wants a camera for Christmas. She is very good at taking pics with ours, but it's a bit expensive to let her run around with. I'd like to find something for around $100 that is decent, but it's tough. Anybody bought one lately that they can recommend? In the meantime, I am trying to find some old models that might be going cheap...

Thanks,
Andy

I got DS14 a 5 mp camera at Walmart last spring for $115. They had several 3/4 mp cameras in the $50 range and some less. My guess is that after Thanksgiving they will have some great deals on those.

Ok, checking the black Friday ads online-Kmart has a 5 MP camera for $59.99. You will be able to find a lower MP camera for less then that for Christmas.

Look for used cameras that people are only getting rid of because they upgraded to a better model. We have a 2.2 megapixel camera, with lots of accessories, that we are going to give away because it looks like we would be lucky to get $50 for everything. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but we just purchased a new 7.1 camera for the upcoming trip.

Good point, I will definitely hold off until I see what deals there are after Thanksgiving. Thanks.
