[access-uk] Re: usable digital cameras

The Canon Ixus range have good screens which are around 2.5 inch (about as big 
as they get really in digital cameras).  The fonts are not especially large, 
however the mode switch on many of them is a clickstop wheel allowing you to 
select various shooting/playback modes and to this extent will provide some 
control from fully automatic right down to fully manual control without 
recourse to onscreen menus.  For the latter "manual" mode however you will need 
to interact with the display and this is where one may become a cropper 
depending on vision, but they have done a good job of making it as easy as 
possible.

I have an Ixus 750 but the less dear models have much the same features and may 
if intending for just snaps and automatic operation be a better bet anyway.  
The present unit is I have is both lighter, with larger screen and easier to 
use than my previous Olympus I brought over three years ago such is the 
progress of these things.

  Can anyone recommend me a digital camera that is particularly VI
  friendly. Large font menus, bigger screens, or whatever it takes? 

  Any thoughts much appreciated. Want to pass on to a freelance visually
  impaired journalist colleague.
