Hi,
My 81 year old dad wants a new camera.
To give you an idea of his ability with technology, he has never progressed beyond a mobile phone that is a phone, and nothing more. Text messages are beyond him.
He is still fit and active, and has just booked a safari in Kenya, so really wants a camera which will be able to take photos that will do justice to the trip.
However, he doesn't want to have to read through a 500 page instruction manual, nor does he want something that he needs to scroll through loads of menus and sub menus, and select loads of settings in order to take a picture.
He can still remember using box brownies. One button. Click. Done.
I realise that modern cameras load as much technology as they can, but does anyone know of a good quality camera that can easily be set into a fully automatic mode where all he has to do is point and shoot?
He would prefer a compact, but doesn't mind the smaller sized bridge camera. A DSLR would be a possibility so long as the quality and ease of use make it worthwhile.
Budget isn't top priority, he's having fun spending the kids' inheritance (good on him!).
A half decent zoom would be useful, and probably a viewfinder, so he can see it better in bright sunshine.
I'd really appreciate any help on this one, as would he.
Many thanks in advance,
Matt.
