i got one of these a few months ago http://www.ebuyer.com/product/126605

cost me £125 back then, £100 is a bargian it takes lovely pictures and it has a close up macro mode so you can take pics of things with the camera lens like 3 inches from the subject and its crystal clear, got a re-chargable battery aswell which is a must in my opinion video recording is really good aswell, its no shitty camera phone quality either, its pretty damn good
you will need a memory card aswell but you can pick them up for under a tenner
