I've been looking for an entry level, point and shoot, user-friendly digital camera for my senior mom (70ish). After a few months of online research and going to a couple stores to see and touch, I think the Kodak C513 is a lot of camera for the money. I'm sure she will never read the manual so I wanted a camera that was intuitive and takes decent shots but wanted to keep it under $150.

The C513 seems to fit the bill. It's a nice compact camera that is comfortable for a woman's hand. The buttons are all in logical places. Best of all it has a large 2.5 in LCD screen that can be viewed easily even in sunlight. The camera can be operated without reading the manual due to prompters when the arrows are pressed for setup and the different modes; including sports, lowlight and backlit situations. It even has digital image stabilization to offset those shaky hands. I doubt she will use it, but the C513 has video with sound also.

I ran it through a few paces like my cat walking through the room, low lighting, bright sunlight behind a face, etc. I'm very impressed to find a 5MP camera with 3X optical & 5X digital for $80 that takes surprisingly good photos! Great for the casual user or just to keep a handy camera in the car.
