Compact camera for my mom
In article , android says...
Should be tiny and suitable enough for your moms needs... Far too big & heavy -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Compact camera for my mom
In article , David Taylor says...
http://www.dpreview.com/products/pan...cts30/overview which is waterproof and 4:1 zoom, although the colour isn't to my taste. Likely the choice of maker isn't that important, ease of use and quick access to regularly needed function is. Although, what functions might your mom use? Not many, she is even hesitant to use the zoom. But it seems that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS30 is not yet selling in Germany. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Should be a simple, easy to use compact camera with perhaps a 3x zoom lens. Inexpensive and lightweight, but which possibly generates nice colourful JPEGs (my mom doesn't process images). Is there any camera of this type which stands out a bit or are nowadays all cheap & small compact cameras (let's say from a major manufacturer) good enough, so that it doesn't matter which one I buy? In spite of the apparent popularity of alternatives, I *still* prefer viewfinder compacts, I think you get much less camera shake. This seems like good value (if rather low spec) http://snapsort.com/cameras/Canon-PowerShot-A1400 |

A biological entity that doesn't process images, but demands attention from its offspring. Using guilt as a major tool. -- PeterN |
