That sounds like the best suggestion yet - to me, having just read
through most of this.. althoughwhen I used to use a cable release for
stability in the olden days, even my 40year old fingers had a hard time
pressing the release button on those... but I'd think anything on a
tripod would help
HOpe you get it solved

How about an older generation DSLR. Put it on a tripod, pick a
program mode and control it with a wired remote. A DS or DS2 would be
plenty good for what he wants, both have jacks for a wired remote and
could probably be purchased for a pittance.

I'm trawling the great collective wisdom of the PDML for a mate of
mine who
has MS and has lost the dexterity to handle today's small p&s
cameras. He's
got a load of stuff to sell and wants to photograph it to put on eBay.
Has anyone got any ideas of what might suit him? I guess lightweight but
with chunky controls. The way he put it was "I need the camera
equivalent
of those phones they do for the elderly/disabled with big, clear,
manageable buttons, if such a thing exists". I suspect he will also
have a
fairly tight budget.
Any off the wall / quirky / bright ideas appreciated.
Cheers, Chris
