Please can anyone recommend a camera for me.
My son is going on a school expedition to South Africa and Lesotho next month. This is a three week trip after completing his GCSEs.
The aim of the expedition is to give the children a valuable experience and as such they will be carrying out a variety of tasks while they are there.
These will include a few days working on a game reserve, a five day hike through the Drakensberg mountains, a community project based in a school in Lesotho and finishing with some more touristy trips.
They will be staying in places without access to electricity and will not be taking electrical devices that need charging - certainly no mobile phones!
He already has compact binoculars but I would like to get him a camera that uses AA batteries so he can take pictures whilst he is there.
Are there any good, lightweight (they have to carry everything in a rucksack), robust cameras that take AA batteries? I don't really know where to start looking!
Thanks in advance,
Robin
