Looking for cam. for Mom

May 15, 2006 2:23AM PDT

I'm looking for a nice camcorder for my Mom.
She takes a TON of digital pic's and needs something EASY to operate and something you can freeze frame for pic's. Remember it needs to be USER friendly.

Not looking for something cheap, looking for good quality.

Thanks,

Ralph

There are so many choices out there, you may need to be more specific.
What is your price range??
Do you want Hi8, Digital 8, Mini-dv, HDD, DVD, HDV??
Most camcorders do not take very good pictures.
A dedicated still camera is better for that.
