Cheap compact wanted

I am after a cheap compact, around £70 for the mother-in-law.
She is thick as pig poo so it has to be simple.
She also breathes fire so would have to be fire proof in case she sneezes on it.

Any ideas (it doesn't really have to be fireproof )

I'm not sure I've ever seen a camera with just an on/off switch and a shutter button. But good luck in your quest!

Amazon.co.uk: Canon PowerShot A590 IS Digital Camera (8.0 MP, 4 xOptical Zoom) 2.5" LCD: Electronics & Photo

Or

Buy Vtech Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera - Pink. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

The latter is not exactly compact but should be pretty much mother-in-law proof

Re: Cheap compact wanted

I was going to get the powershot from Argos for £75 but they had non left. I got the Nikon coolpix p60 which was the same price but was £150. I have taken a few snaps and it seems very good for the money. I just have to show the old dragon how to use it now.
