Default Digital camera help

Well I decided to get my parents a digital camera for christmas since I ALWAYS have theirs. The one they have right now is an Olympus 3.2 megapix. i dont want to spend over $200 and they dont need anything special because their olympus worked great for them as in quality. So whats a decent camera to buy them for under $200?

Thanks!

Do they want a little compact one, a regular-size one, a big chunky one?

Probably a smaller one like they had. I will try and find a pic of it.

Ok I can save you all the trouble here.

Kodak has a whole system of cameras, printers, docks, software, etc...all designed for technophobes like I'm sure your parents are, to be as idiot proof as possible.

So snag a Kodak C875 for em, and they will be happy. It's cheap, it's simple, it takes nice ready-to-print pictures, and they can add a dock or printer or whatever and manage all their pictures in as user-friendly a way as possible. Here are some reviews: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/read...key=kodak_c875
