Digital camera for non-computer user

    A friend's non-computer literate aunt has asked to recommend a camera for her. She doesn't have a computer and has no intention of getting one, but would still like to go for a digital camera as she likes the instant review. I told her she can get her prints done in the shop in the same way as if she was using film and they can do her a CD which would be as good as negatives if she wanted to get reprints, etc.

    But what camera should I recommend? Priorities are handbag size (so compact or smaller), good picture quality on default settings, a good sized screen, 'foolproof' menus/controls. I don't mind doing technical assistance but would rather not have to help her all the time. Budget is about E150, say up to 200 with accessories.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestion. It's a nice camera but a fair bit pricier than I was looking for.

    FisherPrice... sorry:)

    €94 - Kodak easyshare c310

    Not the best by any means,however:
    - Kodak try their best to make their cameras and menu systems as user-friendly as possible
    - there's always the option to go the EasyShare printer route (One button prints)
    - no optical zoom,and it's compact
    - it's 4MP (Should be sufficient if she only wants small prints)
    - it's cheap-as-chips (gah.) - she'd probably feel more comfortable / not afraid of damage or loss or theft..
