Default Suggestions for a *simple* point and shoot

Following my questions about where to buy a D3, I now have another issue
- at the other end of the camera spectrum.

I'd like to buy my wife, who is retired, a point and shoot camera, but
she is not at all technical and has a strong dislike of gadgets. Ideally
I'd like something that flashes when it needs to without her having to
make a decision if it needs flash.

I'm looking for something with the least buttons, knobs or other
controls, so she has less chance of getting into a mess with it. I want
something quite compact too, but simplicity is more important than size
or picture quality.

Suggestions?




Yeah. Boot her out and find yourself a woman who isn't as stupid and
chronically disinterested in modern life. The new one probably won't be
so fat either.

I can't stand women like that, the type who after decades still can't
use the remote controls or program a video.

Men are from Mars and SOME women are from Venus, but most are from
somewhere slightly south of stupid.
