Decide on a model as tell them "Buy this one". Then spend the time

And make sure you get a commission from the local camera store for any
sales of that camera to senior citizens :-)
I don't envy your task, Walter, because you have to figure out what a
senior citizen might want, and I can asure you it's NOT what YOU want.
Here's a video that might help you:

Most seniors want three things.
Something easy to use, (say what you will about Kodak products, but
Kodak made a fetish of out ease of use, especially with the Instamatic
camera series and it stuck).
Something inexpensive, (which is a conflict with ease of use, as most
inexpensive digital cameras are PITAs to use).
Something that will give decent prints or images to e-mail.
Now this describes 90% of the photographic market, not just seniors.
It's surprising how many digital cameras get sold, that fail to meet
those three criteria, (I'd wager 90% actually).
