Folks,

I wanted to ask for your advice on purchasing a digital camera for my grandpa.

My requirements are simple:

1) The guy is BARELY comfortable with technology. He knows how to turn his computer on and off, and can reasonably browse the web. That's it.

2) I'd like the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE digital camera there is, no features, nothing, just a camera with a good "fully automatic" mode, where he can press 1 button and see the picture that he just took. That's it.

3) Ideally, I'd love it if I could pre-configure the camera to have it auto-upload the pictures that he takes to some website. I don't even know if this functionality is possible, just a thought.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hmm. Is there another StackExchange forum where a question like this would be more appropriate? – Alex Jan 25 '11 at 19:10

There's a Photography.SE site @Alex, but that site is aimed at photography enthusiasts, so it would still be off-topic – Ivo Flipse♦ Jan 25 '11 at 19:12
Not on StackExchange, but try www.steves-digicams.com. Lots of reviews and forums more appropriate for this type of question. – LeoB Jan 25 '11 at 19:33
To address the part of the question that is computer related... You could get and configure a WiFi SD card for automatic upload of images. amazon.com/Eye-Fi-Share-Memory-EYE-FI-2GB-VERSION/dp/B000X27XDC – Chris Nava Jan 25 '11 at 19:44
