What Digital Camera should I get for my Mom?


Chanukah is here! My brother and I are splitting the cost to get my mom a nice digital camera. I am a photographer, and for some reason, can't decide what to get her! We are ok with spending up to $250.

Its mostly for her to shoot for family, friends, pets, and some nature. Definitely needs to be compact, but high quality. Looking for an 8-12 MP count, High resolution, Fun features, and something that will take a great picture. And easy for her to use. I've always been a canon shooter, but I am wondering if there are better options. My Canon compact is OK but I think there are better choices out there. Love to see what suggestions are given on here.


Thanks in advance!

I am really savvy with cameras - as a pro shooter myself. I appreciate the responses, but I am looking for specifics - not just shooting off a brand name to me. I am aware of every brand name. I'm looking for suggestions on SPECIFIC CAMERAS that would be good. :) Thanks!

With digital cameras I've always trusted Nikon. Not all the features as in the higher models, but a great Point and shoot for a decent price. I've always stuck to film myself and Cannon. I still lug my EOS Elan 2 places. (yes that's film) Well mostly because I left my digital camera in the rain one night.
