Ooops sorry meant to say! The kind he's been on about cost around £200 - £250 I think! I could manage up to £150 - hence the search for second hand!
Does that help? Or is there a decent new one available within my range? Neither of us are very technical! |

He wants it, mainly, for taking photos when he's out mountain biking. He wants something quite robust and reasonably compact that takes good quality pictures! |
