My point and shoot takes AA batteries and it's really helpful on vacations.
If you run out of power, AA batteries are easy to find. An electrical outlet
to recharge is not always easy to find. And yes, she can use rechargeable
when she gets back.
Tell her to use the camera as much as possible before your vacation to get
used to it. Also test every feature to make sure that they all work. The
first day of your vacation is not the time to find out that the zoom doesn't
work. :-) Make sure she also knows how to download the pictures. My
mother-in-law has a digital and never downloads anything because she doesn't
know how. She just replaces the digital card!
Have fun and don't forget to post pictures for us!

Just got back from Creve Couer Camera and after talking with the very
informative and great salesmen and lots of researching online we decided on
the Canon Powershot SX20, in the long run it had everything my mom wanted
(ease of use for my mother, a good zoom lens 20x optical zoom, price, and
great picture quality) it is more of a point and shoot camera but has the
look and feel of an SLR. The only thing I wasn't 100 percent on is the fact
that it takes 4 AA batteries instead of a rechargable battery. But besides
our trip, they won't use the camera alot so it isn't that big of a deal.
Besides they can use rechargable AA batteries after the trip. For the trip
I already have plenty of Litium AA batteries for my GPS so I'll use them for
the camera! Final price was 429.99 but includes one set of batteries, a
carrying case, 2GB Sdcard, a free class on use (which my mom will take
before we leave), an extra 4GB HD card, USB cable, plus the standard extras!
On another note, I will be purchasing a Panasonic Lumix ZS7 for myself for
399.99 it includes a couple of extras, but look this camera up online since
it just hit the market a couple months ago. My favorite part is the fact
that it will GeoTag your pictures since the camera has a built in GPS in it!
Our salesmen Chris let me look at the one they had on hand even though it
was someone elses camera who hadn't picked it up yet!!! Once they get in
the next shipment I will definately be getting one of these, it is compact
and lightweight with excellent quality shots made just perfectly for
geocaching photo hounds!!!
After going to several places (the big boys) I would strongly recommend
buying from Creve Couer Camera they answered all of my questions and
concerns with ease, they were not over pushy (didn't try to sell me
something I didn't need), were very informative by showing us everything the
camera could do and not do. Some other places I could tell were more
interested in the upsell trying to show me something I know I didn't want,
they also didn't have all of the cameras I wanted to look at! Creve Couer
had every model I wanted to look at and more I hadn't even heard of! After
looking online I know I could save a few bucks from a couple different
places but after the Customer Service I received from Chris at Creve Couer I
have no problem paying the very little extra money I could have saved! I
know you will too!

I'd be interested in knowing what you end up buying and why.
Always in the market for a new toy and something better.
Good luck!
Susie
