Could anyone recommend a basic level of digital compact camera or sophisticated compact cameras for around €100-200. Its for my mother, just want a good point and shoot type camera compact enough for her handbag but gives a pretty good quailty pic at the same time.

I think the panasonic is the camera i bought my girlfriend, if not its very similar. Its grand for a cheap point and shoot, id say any of those would be pretty good for what they are.

Panasonic Lumix always get great reviews. If you decide to buy the Canon,
Argos are selling it for €107.99.

i bought the panasonic lumix tz7 a week ago for 190 sterling. Its a great point and shoot, the qulaity of pics are great for the camera, the zoom is amazing and it has high defintion video..

For the cheap end of the compacts, it is probably wise to stick with canon.
Their AUTO mode is good, and they are quite responsive.

It was in the Canon €60 - €124.99 list on Tuesday. Looks like it is gone.
It is worth checking Argos before you buy on line. They have become
a lot more competitive lately.
