I found these ones,  please help me choose, or is there any better idea, thanks

Elph 110 from Electronics 4 less (Is this trusted?) for $117.90 after shipping

Elph 320 from Adorama for $124 Includes accessories

Elph 520 from B&H for $129

Do you want a touch screen? In general I'm not a fan myself. That's why I ask.

I was asked by a relative in Israel to order one in America, so she asked for an Elph.

Does she speak English ? Maybe better off with one with buttons that she's used to already.

My 14 old son wants to buy his first digital camera. 

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

I'd say a low end Canon or a used camera

Save up so he has $110-$125 which will be wayyyy better than anything you'll find for $50-$75.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks.  My concern is that given his age, the reliability and the durability of these products that it might not be worth the extra money. 

But many thanks Dan for taking the time to answer me.

Obviously each kid is different. The idea is to learn how to take care of your "toys". That being said you could look into a waterproof camera. They generally can withstand quite a bang compared to others. But you'll lose out on the quality of pics.
