Camera help please?
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!

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!)
