For my wife's 60th. birthday she gets a trip to Ethiopia. For her 65th. I guess I'll have to pay to bring her back home. No, that's just a joke.

I am going to give her a digital camera for her trip. What I need is some advice on what kind to get. I know I don't need more that about 3 megapixals capacity a large LCD, screens icons that can be read by people over 60, rechargable batteries, and a couple of 64 mb memory cards. Is there anything else I should look for?

My brother, who is the electronics guy, says that Sony Cybershot DSC-W5 at $220; Canon Powershot A520 or A620 ($325), and the HP Photosmart R817 are Consumer Report best buys. Has anyone had good luck with other cameras?

Thanks in advance.
