(He's a new dad!) First: congratulations to your friend, both with his survival and with his kid! There are some digicams with most controls on the left (Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 for instance). Unfortunately, the notable exception is the shutter release button, so he'd have to test whether that is accessible. Some other things worth investigating might be the twist-and-flip designs: Pentax Optio X, Nikon Coolpix S4 or Sony Cybershot DSC-M2. The last one looks the most left-hand-friendly, but again: I'd test that myself if I were your friend. An other thing I can think of -short of putting standard innards in a custom body- is 'fixing' a remote control to the left of a digicam. Not a very elegant solution, but it might be workeable. Hope this helps -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
