I'm looking for a simple-to-use camera that is Linux compatible. It's for

ideally she would connect the camera to the PC with a USB cable and it
would Just Work.
Thanks
I think probably all of them now look like a USB memory stick.
I guess they're typically composite devices (MSD+Camera) as normally you
can also control them from PC.
One thing to check is that either it has a proper viewfinder, or the
screen is usable in bright sunlight. My wife's camera struggled with
that and we bought a pop-up sunshade for her camera:

They're neat and work pretty well.
FWIW I've always been an Olympus enthusiast and Sue's that needed the
sun-shade was the only shortcoming, ever.
