I am looking to purchase a point and shoot camera for my 86 year old parents.
I have $150 to spend, and I am so confused by reviews by people who have purchased that said camera.
Canon, Nikon and Samsung seem to be the best, maybe not. I though of also using AA or AAA batteries for operation, maybe not.
My dad uses a computer for basically emails and my mother has a ipad. I often use the program called "TeamViewer" to assist them when any problem arise. I am very computer literate, and cameras was a past time. I would like to buy it locally @ Best Buys or maybe another local store. Best Buys seems to have the largest selection.
Any help here would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you,

I do primarily wild life photos. I picked up an ef 300mm usm lens. And was going to use a 2x doubler on it.
Here's the quandary, The ad states that the af will work with 2.8 and faster lenses. So, does that mean the af will fritz out with say a 4.0?
Or is it that it just has a time searching for focus?
Like most of us here, I can't just run out an blow 2 or 3 grand on glass. I don't mind fooling around a bunch to get my shots with adapters, doublers and such. I have my tripod and the light is always good when I go for my shots.
Any ideas?
