Fair point Mapmaker. These supposed drawbacks are all relative, and for most purposes immaterial especially to anybody who finds phone pictures acceptable - as indeed they are for most people most of the time.
Also worth mentioning that it's the photographer that takes the picture, the camera merely records it. You can develop an interest in photography and take fantastic pictures with a very simple one, and learn a lot at the same time. But this is a present and that has another function;-)
All the same, a well chosen £100 camera now is a very sophisticated device indeed, and it would in my opinion be foolish for a person of normal means to spend more without a specific requirement.
