My husband has a Canon ???- it is sooooo complicated, but takes great pictures once you figure out the settings. I have an Olympus FE110- and it is very simple, takes great pictures and videos, and is quite reasonably priced. I have extra memory so I can get about 250 huge high-resolution pictures before having to download. Only drawback- take quicktime .mov movies, so you will need a converter to change to .avi before you can use most editing programs, but I downloaded a freebie one that works great.
