My in-laws want to buy a digital camera. They are complete technophobes so it needs to be something point and shoot, very easy to use with a really simple UI. I'm hoping for something with autofocus, 3x optical zoom and minimum 3 megapixel for around £75 - £125. Usability really is the priority. Any ideas?
There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

What about Kodak Easyshare cameras, try this one (only digital zoom though!):

They also do printer docks aswell, decent prints plus charges the camera at the same time:
