Which digital camera for my mom?


She currently has an old (maybe 5 years) Sony cybershot camera (maybe like 3.1 megapixels) and it is time for an upgrade.

I have narrowed it down to the following 3 cameras:

Canon SD750
Canon SD1000
Sony DSC-W80

They all have their advantages and disadvantages and are relatively the same price.

Anyone have any suggestions??

I myself have been torn between the sd750 and the sd900.
Like someone said before, if your mom uses the optical viewer instead of the LCD, the 750 doesn't have one. That's the price you pay for having a 3"LCD. I LOVE the look of the sd1000. From what I've heard, canons tend to be better than sonys. I say go with the sd1000

The memory cards/sticks for Sony are very expensive and rarely go on sale. While the Canon cameras memory card always goes on huge rebates. Something to keep in mind.

The Canon SD1000, is ultra small - but the reviews I have read say that the picture quality isn't quite as good as some of the slightly larger Canon cameras. See www.stevesdigicams.com

Sony memory sticks are no longer much more expensive than SD cards.

I suggest you avoid cameras that don't have an eye level optical finder - This feature is particularly important for people who would need to put on reading glasses to see the LCD screen clearly. Most Canon point and shoot cameras still have an optical eye level finder, but this feature has been eliminated on many point and shoot cameras.

How about the Canon IXUS 800 IS 6.0 MP Digital Camera .tis a good one .
