Looking for simplicity of use for non-technical wife. Will this camera fit that criteria?

Used in its basic automatic setting, it is very easy to use. You will need to remove the battery to charge it, which I find inconvenient, but not difficult to do. This camera is small, so you might want to make sure she can handle it easily. If you take it out of manual mode, it can become quite a challenge, but leaving it in auto mode, which is what I use 80% of the time, it is very simple to use.

Yes. So easy to use. . Buttons and modes are self explanatory. ..I used it on my trip to NYC right out of the box and took great pictures and videos. This phone is super and I would highly recommend it!

Yes. This camera is easy to use. Takes good quality pictures. Very easy to adjust the settings. Also simple to download pictures to the computer. We used it last few months and like it.

I bought this camera for my mother, mainly because of it's features and simplicity. The timed picture feature is very easy to use. After one sitting my mother had more than the basics, that was months ago and she has not had any questions or difficulties since.

Yes it is very user friendly even for a beginner. I haven't had any problems with this camera. The manual is ready to understand and got should play with it to see all the different settings that it can do.

At the price point, absolutely. It takes good quality photos and videos with minimal user skill required. My only concern is making sure I have a spare set of AA batteries close at hand.

It would work great, however, legally I don't know if they would allow it. Things to consider are if her room has a internet connection (not just wifi)? You will need that to setup the camera. You may be better off with an IP or wireless camera. For those you only need wifi to connect to the internet. They are not as easy to setup though.

Yes, however this camera is very simple and easy to use so I never looked at it. Not a lot of features to figure out.

I got this for a gift for my sister-in-law. To me it's very easy to use that's why I bought it. We use the same camera at work. I'm familiar with it already. It takes a little time to get used to it may be to some people.

Yes. It can be a fairly complex camera, but can be used in the automatic mode , which makes it usable for beginners.

If you want a real simple, light weight camera, this is NOT for you. It is NOT difficult to use and you could get creative with it, but it's for someone who wants more out of a camera than just a quick shoot. Look on www.cnet.com...maybe they can help you decide too.

Yes, but fair warning - it's a terrible camera for anything other than home-movies. So if you need it to work in low-light or need to zoom in on your subject, this is not the best camera.

I'm a neophyte but I've found it easy to use. I just redecorated my home and it took crisp shots of my interior. Buy a large memory card for it and a case as they're not included and you'd be good to go.

Sure, the camera is easy to operate and comes with a detailed instruction manual and CD. The full auto mode and presets will get you along way, to start.

I found the Canon Rebel XSi a fairly easy to use. Of course I had used this type camera before so it was not very difficult for me to immediately pick up and use. The lens that comes as standard with it should be adequate; however lens are interchangeable and a different focal lens may in line to adapt for different occasions. I think just off the shelf the camera will suffice. This Rebel is one tough one for every use with the proper lens.
