My son borrowed our P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4 and lost it this weekend. He's offered to replace it and while we didn't use the camera at every opportunity, it was nice to have it available. To be honest, my wife didn't love the camera because the menu system was quite overwhelming (even I didn't dive into all the programmed stuff it offered). We usually used it as a P&S and some video. My wife wants something that's easy, takes nice pics, and isn't complicated. Whatever we buy she would use mostly in AUTO and Video. I was wondering about the Q10 on Adorama's site for $179 (red body with standard lens). My thinking is it would be easy enough for her, but it's a little more than a P&S so when I'm using it I can take advantage of the advanced options (beyond Auto Mode).
It's not that I'm against a P&S, it just needs to be easy to use and I'd like to keep the price under $200. Any advice.
