i need to get mother dear a simple camera - like tomorrow or monday lunchtime at the latest.

looking for something very slim (that is about the only real requirement)

ideas ?
 
Canon, Nikon and the other makers all have point and shoot cameras that are small, easy to operate, and can fit in a pocket or purse.
Makro, Game, Incredible Connection or other similar stores all stock them.
 
A long time ago I had a Sony Cybershot T-100. The T-series were all slim cameras with no protruding lens. Despite that, the T-100 still had 5x optical zoom and optical image stablizer.

I bought mine so it would fit into my jeans pocket and not strip any gears if it accidentally got switched on - worked like a charm. If the T-series is still around, I would recommend that.

Good Morning,

What's the budget?
Cheap an Cheerful (under 1K)

I would go for this: (higher optical zoom, compact, wifi, good all rounder)(under 2k)

or this (still compact, nice looking, no wifi less optical zoom)(under 1.5K)

If you want water and dust proof, not so high spec, but high price (3.5K)

Not So skinny or compact but high zoom at lower price: (1.9k)
