Tony,
She was hoping for something around £300. However she could stretch to
£400. The DS3200 looks like it may justify the extra.
In the past she has made short videos with friends. At Christmas she
made a very good job of a family calendar which we sent to relatives
(who are chipping in to the cost). She will be doing GCSE art next year
and wants to do a photography project. I am relenting a bit from my
instinctive cheapness because I think the right tool would encourage her
existing interest.
She is also doing GCSE astronomy so something for the stars would be a
bonus.
Since I am on the subject, as part of a Christmas present, I took her to
a one day film course in London (
http://www.raindance.org/). To my
surprise, and for less than the cost of a football match, it turned out
to be one of the most entertaining and informative days out I have had
for a long time.
