I own two Canon Powershot Elphs and even my husband can run my old one (that's saying a lot), an SD900, it's pretty simple. It takes great pictures to boot. I just bought a Rebel XSi to replace my SD950IS and have to say I'm a real Canon fan. With the Powershots you can just set it to auto mode and show her the on/off button, and if you buy her a big enough card she can save the uploading for you
