I personally own the Kodak Z740, which is a step below. Mine is 5mp and I think the Z760 is 6pm. It's a more professional looking camera and you can get quite a few lens adapters. The buttons and features on it are VERY easy to use. Also it fits great in your hand. The only downside (which I don't mind at all) it's a tad heavier than most digital cameras.
I absolutely LOVE my camera. I got it a while back for $379, it wasn't on sale, but it did come with the printer dock.
That's a great price. I would definitely buy it again.
What is the lag time on this camera? I have an older olypus and the lag time is a KILLER I am looking for something that has little to no lag time for moving picture shots. Can someone suggest one for me?

How do you guys find out before the ads are in, what Best Buy will have. I had asked them, and they told me the flyers for the ad are under a sealed box. Do you really think they will have the Kodak 360 for 129.

My camera (Kodak z740 in comparison with z760 being offered on BF) has a burst mode where it will take 4 pictures consecutively. Recovery time from this is very minimal, so you can snap lots of photos really quick.
It also has a sports mode for moving subjects. These would be single shots only.
Again, all these features are really easy to find/use.

In Consumer Reports the Kodak Z700 is rated number 2. Its at Kmart on Thanksgiving.
CanonA510 is number 1 in CR.

I also have an older Olympus and have the same problem - otherwise I do like the camera - it's lasted through 3 years of use and abuse - will there be any newer models on Black Friday.

So first, I would like suggestions for a digital camera for them that is:
a) easy to use

c) can easily be attached to one of the no-computer-needed printers and to the Kodak PictureMaker (like they have in Wal-Mart and some grocery and drug stores)
Second, I'd like feedback on the no-computer-needed printers: are they worth the money? How easy/hard are they to use? What is the best one for my parents' situation (at home and in their camper in FL)?
Oh, one last thing: my dad is a right arm amputee, so any camera that works well left-handed would be a huge plus!
