Thanks Paul and everyone else too. I suspect that's the best option. Any
old DSLR with a kit lens would do. A phone or tablet is problematic as his
hands are unsteady so something with an eye level finder is helpful in that
he can steady it against his face and put on a tripod if necessary.

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
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.

Yet another idea: How about a tablet?
The controls are so simple that even a clumsy 3-4-year-old kid can manage.
One can research which ones offer a better camera, as some of them are
rather slow (shutter-speed-wise), probably due to the limited ISO.

Easy. An iPhone 6S Plus or the latest large Samsung phone. Good pics, minimal
effort.
