Camera help please?

[bluespirit]

I want to buy my Mom a digital camera for Christmas.
It needs to be slimline, have a large viewfinder/display & be very, very simple to use.
My Mom is seventy & a bit of a techno-phobe but she's seen our Canon Ixus 75 & really likes it.
I would like to get her something similar in design but with fewer functions & settings. I mean she's never going to take a video or do macro photography or anything like that. She just wants to be able to point it & press the button - taking pictures on holiday & at family gatherings (& of Buddy, of course!)
Can anyone recommend anything please?
I'm looking to spend around £100.
Thanks, folks!

I made my mum buy a digital camera a couple of months ago *g*. I went with her and we got one of these: http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=11114&pq-locale=en_GB&_requestid=255

It cost £99 and I think they're a bit less now. Mum's is red but I see from the page that they come in all sorts of pretty colours so that's a bonus! This is the more recent version of the one I've got and I love how easy it is to use. I bought a docking station for mine so when I want to transfer the photos all I do is stick in on the station, press a button and they transfer. I figured even my mum could do that on her PC! I don't know if your mom has a PC but the actual operation of the camera is very easy as well.

I love all the different colours! *g*
Mom doesn't use a computer - Dad's is still sitting there, she just dusts it & is convinced she'll somehow 'wipe it' if she even switches the plug on! So it'll be a matter of taking the SD card to Boots or some other photo place (or I'll end up doing it!)
