    Wrong forum methinks, best off trying the Photography forum!

    If you are looking for brick and mortor in Limerick, Newmans, O'Connors and Whelans are the three camera stores, Based on Chapel Lane/Cruises St. - William St, and O'Connell St. respectively.

    For that money, you will be looking at a mid-level Point and shoot, I'm sure some of the Nikon Coolpix most likely have that feature, mine is actually dead atm, so I can't check it. But if you ask in those stores they could point you in the right direction.

    Argos have a couple of Nikon Coolpix cameras for under €100.

    If you can squeeze your budget and add an extra 50 or 60 quid to it, then something like the Fujifilm FinePix S2980 would do the job.

    It is a decent bridge camera, and like most of the fujifilm range it is very easy to use, and makes for a good all rounder.

    One of the electronic stores have it on special this week, but I cannot remember if it was in Soundstore or in Harvey Norman that I saw that as I was in both earlier this week. Have a feeling it was in HN as I was in there for a bit playing with a Canon EOS.
