Hello. My coworker has asked me to ask you camera experts out there if you can recommend a digital camera for old people. (I think to be considered 'Old' you'd have to fall into the +65 years category?? 
)
Apparently his folks are going to go travel the world and are looking to buy a good quality digital camera but one that is not so small that they have difficulty finding out which button to press! He said that his folks are frustrated that most digital cameras out there are getting smaller and smaller, which is not very user-friendly for older people, who generally prefer point-and-shoot compact cameras because of their simplicity.
With the plethora of digital cameras out there, can someone please assist by narrowing down the options and put forth some suggestions of cameras suitable to old people.
(By the way, they have a budget of around A$400 to purchase their camera). Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks heaps!
