Best Tablet for Under 500?

Dad told me to find him a good tablet to buy. He doesn't want to buy an ipad since its overprice so no apple products plox. I only ever see him use it for watching videos on youtube and recording stuff and taking pictures.
thoughts?

I had a Nexus 7 for a while and I was very pleased with it. Unfortunately, I dropped it onto a sharp rock o.o >.< o.o

Think ill just tell him to get the TF300 the spec difference isn't that much from the Tf700

He lends it to my mom sometimes so he won't buy a phone.

Also the Nexus 10 tablet (16GB for 399, 32GB for 499) are under 500 dollars but dam basil wont let me link to it because apparently it contains the F word that does not end in "u" "c" and "k"

I am bu no means an Apple fanboy, but I was recently in the market for a smaller sized tablet, and having tried multiple tablets the iPad mini was in my opinion the ebst product for the price, hence why I now own one.

[quote=Assumptions]A tablet for watching videos, recording, and taking pictures? Why doesn't he watch videos on a computer, and buy a camera?

OT: Idk [/quote]
Well considering he takes it everywhere(home/work/when he goes out with my uncles) no lol a tablet is much more useful to him than a computer/camera.
