go for a nice nizo, most modals go for a bargin rate these days, i got a nizo s800 the other day for just
£20($40) including delivery(ace, a beautiful camera cant wait to use it in a shoot), got it from a ebay i was lucky mind you to get it for such a good price, but keep an eye out they are around, my friend got a nizo integral 7(not as many features but a nice cam) for £15 ($30) at a carboot.
tell him to keep an eye out, they are all pretty cool, some basic but some nicer pro modals then most manufacturers, (nizo Braun)
hope this helps
