a little help?

[steve]

i'm trying to build some sort of left handed grip for a camera for my son who took a stroke and has no real movement in his right hand, and as we all know it's pretty hard to take a shot with only your left hand. so what i'm looking for is a point and shoot some where under $200.00 that can use a remote shutter release, i know i can do it with a dslr, but i'd really hate to drop the money on one if i didn't have to. any help whould be awesome.

your best bet is to listen to the third link and go to the different manufacturer's websites and go to their point and shoot section to see which one sells remote shutter releases for their point and shoots. i don't think you'll be able to get it all for under $200 though. good luck and let us know how it goes.

Some of the ones with a swivel screen can be used left handed...
Aiptek, Sanyo, and others make them.
The screen has to be swiveled "flat" and viewed from above, or pics taken "blind", for left hand use, but it works...

This Aiptek will work (Pocket DV5300) but is discontinued....might be hard to find.
It's screen rotates 180* in all directions I think...it certainly rotates out of the way of the controls..
