Please, help choose a digital point'n'shoot

[christopher_nisperos2]

Hi everybody, hope you can help me help a handicapped friend

of mine. . .

 

Eventhough I have forty years of photography experience, I

humbly admit my ignorance about amateur digital photo

products. My friend has asked me to recommend a camera

among the following choices:

 

1. Olympus myu (5 mega)

2. Canon Ixus

3. Fuji F10

 

I have NO idea what to tell him. Plus, he's missing his right arm.

Is there any camera that works best for a left-hander?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance!

I recommend Fuji F10/F11. Lots of info on all 3 at www.dpreview.com

 

He can use the camera upside down with his left hand, or go for the Fuji Silvi F2.8 (a.k.a. Zoomdate F2.8), a film P&S with shutter buttons on both sides. http://www.gdargaud.net/Photo/Matos.html

I would look at the Nikon that swivels.

I suggest going to a store and trying the camera yourself. You'll know right away if it's good for your friend.
