I usually use a kodak disposable camera so I'm hardly a budding photographer. But I tend to take a lot of photos so I hate paying a fortune getting crap photos developed!

I want to spend around £80 on a decent second-hand camera.

I bought a Trust digital camera a year back and it really was terrible. The battery life was atrocious, it took a-g-e-s to charge before taking a photo with the flash, and the photo quality in dusk or when the flash was used was non-existant (it really only could be used in good lighting conditions.)

Since I'm on a tight budget I was thinking about buying a second hand camera.

I'd like the following features:
LCD Screen
Thin & light
Little or no wear and tear
Optical zoom
Takes rechargeable batteries, (but possibly has a place to plug a charger in.)
At least 3 megapixel
256kb Memory Card
Good flash
Ready to take picture quickly after being turned on.

This might become a wanted thread so I'm looking for good advice!
In particular, what's a good camera to buy (second hand) with all the above features and within my budget.

Thanks
