looking for recommendations for a digital camera

[airhead]

I'm looking for a really easy to use camera for my mother. Any suggestions?

You might want to ask this on the photograhy board too.

My DH got me this camera as a quick and easy camera that I could take to my school and take pictures of my students.
It is extremely easy to operate and takes decent pictures. It uses an SD card which is easy to find.

It is easy enough to let my students take pictures --if I allow them.

I love my Olympus FE 340~

One big recommendation: Do not buy a Casio camera. DD had one that worked for less than 15 days--it broke on vacation, so we couldn't return it to Walmart where she bought it (they have a 15 day return on cameras).

We mailed it off to Casio, where they indicated that the camera appeared damaged--there was no damage when we shipped it. They wanted $139 to repair a 20 day old $149 camera. The customer service was rude from the first call.

Then, I had a Canon that started doing the same thing as DD's Casio--it would not focus clearly--sent it off, and had it back within 10days, repaired at no cost.

I love dealing with Canon. I've also had good luck with my Nikon Cool-Pix.

I've had great luck with Kodak Easyshare cameras. They are pretty much point and shoot digital cameras and come with very easy software. This one is a great deal right now

Marie, not the camera bug that I am, has the Canon A590IS. It is excellent.

I think I will look at the Kodak EasyShare.
