What is the best camera under 100 USD that I can find? Please make sure it isn't a complicated one as this isn't for me and the person receiving it will most likely not want to bother learning how to use a complicated camera. Thanks.

Phones are the best camera. I don't recommend cheap camera. GO big or go home. Either buy a professional DSLR (Many hundreds and potentially thousands of USD) or use your smartphone.

Doesnt have to be such an expensive purchase. Great cameras like the T3i go for dirt cheap on eBay.

The OP said something not complicated, so for $100 or less a phone camera or a cheap point and shoot are the only options available.

Yes, buy a $500+ camera and stick to using auto mode. :blink:

You can most likely get it less than that, but hey, thats how it is for beginners. For the first week or two of me having my T6i, I didnt know anything more than press and shoot :P

 And to think I took a much more expensive route into my first DSLR :P
