I've been looking at digital camcorders, but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed on the quality of the picture when I transfer the videos to DVD. I've converted several .avi files sent by family members to DVDs and the picture quality is horrible. (I'm playing the DVDs in a Blueray player on an HD TV.) If I can't get much better quality that I've seen, I see no reason to buy a camcorder.

which samsung camera is a touch screen?

I am helping a family member pick a digital camera. I am the one that friends and family go to when they need help picking a digital camera, but this one has me stumped. This person is a slow learner and has a medical condition that causes poor short-term memory. Money isn't really a factor, I just need to help find her a camera that is *extremely simple* to use. I would like it to have a decent amount of megapixels and take high quality pictures. The most important thing is for it to have as *little steps as possible when she wants to take pictures*. These steps cannot be hard to remember. She has been using disposable cameras her whole life and can sometimes get frustrated when she has difficulty remembering and learning new things. The camera menu text should not be too small and it should not be difficult to navigate. I know this is a difficult question and is somewhat of a scavenger hunt, but I'm hoping that someone will be able to provide insight to make it a bit easier for me to help her. Thank you all so much for taking time to read my question and any advice or assistance you may have to offer me.
