Need Help! Digital Camera for MIL & FIL....

[escape]

My MIL & FIL have now expressed a desire for a digital camera. I would love to get them one for Christmas but I don't know what kind to get.

I want to spend $250 or less. It must be VERY easy to operate or they won't use it (they are used to a very easy point-and-click 35mm). I need something with a decent picture as well. Any suggestions? Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh?

For ease of use, I would recommend any of the Kodak EasyShare cameras. Make sure you get the docking station and then, once set up, they'll just have to hit one button to download their pics.

Thanks, Bob, that does sound pretty easy. I'll check them out.

I just purchased the Kodak 4.1 mega pixel Easy Share for my daughter this weekend. I spent $149 on the camera. I bought a 256 card to hold pictures $34.99 ($15 mail in rebate not included in that price). And a bag and rechargeable battery for $39.99. I did not get the docking station printer because she has an all in one printer that I hope will do. If not, I will get her that after Christmas.

There's two different docking stations, BTW. One is for downloading pictures and recharging batteries. The other one is the printer.

I do like the idea of the docking station to download pics to the computer. The easier everything works together, the more they will use the camera.

Thanks, everyone!
