I am wanting to buy my Mom a digital camera for Christmas.  I bought Dad a digital game scouting camera as a Christmas gift, and thought I would double up on the cameras this year.  They are in their early sixties, and not very technical minded.  Although she uses the computer I built for her fairly proficiently, my Mom is very intimidated by the mere thought of a digital camera.  She wants one, but is scared she won't be able to use it.  Under $300 would be a budget goal.

Just found this excellent Camera Reviews link, but haven't even begun to delve into all this info.  

Will you do me a huge favor and point me in the right direction to some decent cameras that are fairly simple to use?  Otherwise, I will spend days reading through all the info in the above link.

Thank you kindly!

Canon  PowerShot A520.

It's a point and shoot without too many buttons, you can set it once and leave it on fully automatic everything if needed, takes 2 AA batteries, and isn't so small as to be a pain to hold onto, it's about $175.
