Looking for a camera to take on holiday with us, maximum of about £100, OH insists it has to have wifi, what for I do not know.

So far had a look at:

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/cameras/digital-camer... (£105 on amazon)

Neither of us really know what we are looking for in a camera, probably going to be mainly taking landscape or people pictures, going to florida.

Any help would be much appreciated, cheaper the better smile

Cheers

How about any camera and put an Eye-Fi card in it?

Cheers for the idea but we don't have a decent camera either so by the time we've got a decent camera and an eye fi card we may as well just get a wifi camera.

Just check with your wife if she will be the one downloading the photos via wifi each evening to a laptop.
She may just be requesting wifi for the sake of it.

A USB cable will be faster and cheaper than wifi. Is she really going to be copying the photos to a computer without a USB cable?

Sorry for going against what's been said but reading into the wb30f, it can automatically send photos to my phone, also can download an app to remote view find with it, good for holiday snaps with me and the OH as I then won't have to ask an american! Going to pay the extra £19 for three years accidental damage and extended warranty cover which seems worth it to me with no excess or labour etc to pay. Brings the total to £108 but it appeals to me due to the gadgetry, as any toys do hehe

Thanks
