Hi Mike,
I don't know about the IS; that could be the ticket. I have the feeling that
the XA, though compact, might be a little fiddly for her. Ditto the OM2000.
If you could get a good working one, the OMPC has the advantage of program
mode. Set the stop to f8 or f11 or something, just focus and shoot. Folks who
have these love 'em.
The OM-G and OM-10 are possibilities too. Both seem very friendly cameras.
Manual adapter for the OM-10 might not be an issue for her, and you can get
one very cheaply.
