Digital Cameras Under £100
If you are looking for digital cameras under £100 you may be in for a pleasant surprise. If you choose carefully the camera you buy is likely to offer good picture quality for snapshots, ease of use and a fair range of features.
It almost goes without saying that manufacturers will have made some compromises to keep the cost of a digital camera under £100. These compromises can include smaller LCD screens, standard definition movies, slower response times, reduction in picture quality, shorter battery life and in some cases a lower build quality.
Despite this there are some very good digital cameras available for under £100 or just over that price. In my opinion this end of the market can offer some excellent value for money, especially if all you are after is a simple point and shoot camera.
Here are my recommended digital cameras under £100:
