We were looking for a camera that she could handle with cerebral palsy and bad shoulder-arthritis. We purchased this CMOS point and shoot at Canadian Tire for $130 Canadian.
It's a movie camera (records on your secure memory card) and a still camera (they claim 6.1 megapixels). It has a rotary LCD screen. Zone focussed, f3.0 lens. My wife is slowly getting the hang of it but managed to take a couple of pictures. The shutter button is small and placed poorly for her hands. It has a default to movie camera. You have to press a mode button to get the still camera setting.
All in all, I think it's a bargain.
