my parents have asked me to buy them a digital camera.

i want to get them a decent one, probably at least 3mp but if its a good 2mp i can live with it. i don't think they want 4 or 5 (wayyy too much)

it needs to be easy for them to use, especially my mom who isn't tech savvy.

the main purpose for this new camera is that they want to take pictures at my graduation in a month. :)

the only catch is that it must be available from circuit city (for reasons many of you know).

i've been looking at this one or this one but its kinda pricy methinks but my mom would love this one
because its so small

circuit city digital cameras

Sony 3.2-Megapixel 3X Optical Digital Camera for $329
Brand/Model: SON DSCP72

The Canon is superior but I doubt they'll use all the manual controls.

Even with your discount (unless it's 25% off or more) Dell can probably beat your CC employee discount.

Ahh. Would've helped had I known that.

But besides that, with the deals Dell has had of late, I'm sure it's still better than your discount ($45 off x2 + 10/15/20% off)

I recently purchased the Casio Exilim EX-Z3 from Dell. I'm still waiting on delivery, but it seems like a simple camera to operate and very very portable. I dunno if CC carries it, but if they do, then great.

Get Canon S230, a nice small easy to use digital camera.

S400 if you don;t mind spending extra $$$
