Can you recommend a Digital camera for the disabled?

by klaassenn Nov 2, 2005 8:35AM PST

Hi,
I have a muscular dystrophy which basically means my fine finger coordination is poor and will continue to slowly deteriorate. I want a Digital camera that I can use effortlessly yet still provides good quality?
I require a minimum 4 mega pixels and 3X zoom. A basic model, giving good results without unnecessary additional extras [the less buttons and the bigger, the better].
Can you recommend anything?

Get a camera that is image stabilized such as some of the Konica Minolta and Panasonic cameras.

Special Camera

It would be a good idea to visit a local store that lets you get your hands on the cameras.
i.e. Circuit City or WalMart

See if you can find something that seems to fit the need.

Take a look at the Kodak C330.
It sells for about $175 and has basic controls.
