Random one this...
A few Christmases ago i bought my daughter a Canon 300D to use to learn photography.
It was a bit battered, but it didn't worry me too much, as I think it was less than £30.
Unfortunately, it's really, really slow in terms of usage. Press the button, it takes the pic, and waits about 5 or 6 seconds before it displays anything.
It wasn't like this when I first bought it, but it makes it pretty much unusable. I don't think it's the memory card, as I haven't changed that, but it's a possibility.
The thing is, it would still take a decent photo when it was working - here's one my daughter took four years ago:

So I'd like to replace it with another cheap camera. it would need to be a Canon as all my other stuff is Canon, but what would still make a decent buy?
i see there's a 20D for sale in the classifieds, which is likely to be better than a 300D, but how old is too old and how much is too much to pay?
I didn't really want to spend more than £30-£40.
Thanks in advance.
