Best mega zoom, good pic quality, point and shoot camera

Dec 22, 2009 4:13AM PST

Buying a camera for my Mom and she wants something that has a lot of zoom, has to take good quality pics and MUST be easy to use, point and shoot. This camera will be in automatic mode forever, price is not an option, she wants a good camera.

THANKS in advance,

Ralph

depends on the size

If she doesn't mind the size then the Panasonic FZ35 or if she wants a compact then the Panasonic ZS3.

How do these compare to say the Canon SX20is or the Sony DSC-H20
